Drone Crashes and Injures Woman at Seattle Pride Parade

The 41st annual Pride Parade at Seattle on Sunday was a blast, until a wayward drone crashed and knocked a woman unconscious, prompting police to look for its owner who apparently fled the scene soon after the incident.

The 2-pound drone, which is estimated to cost about $1,200, had initially crashed into a building before falling into the crowd and striking the 25-year-old woman in the head, Seattle police said Monday. The woman was treated on the scene near the corner of 4th Avenue and Madison by an off-duty firefighter until police arrived.

Witnesses describe the drone pilot as an unshaven white male in his 20s, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and cut off shorts with a tattoo of a woman somewhere on his body.
