Police Seize Drone Flown Over Traffic Accident In Michigan

Couple Stuck In Traffic Was Trying To See What Was Going On, Hampered Medevac Helicopter

A drone that was flying over a bad traffic accident on I-75 in Bay County, MI was seized by police, and its operators may be cited and fined.

The accident involved multiple vehicles and caused a lengthy traffic backup. Television station WNEM report that, according to Sgt. John Richards with Michigan State Police, a husband and wife that were stuck in the backup deployed their drone to try to see what was going on.

But the drone caused a delay in the arrival of a medical evacuation helicopter sent to evacuate one of the accident victim. They were interviewed by police on August 31.

The drone will be analyzed for evidence, according to the report, and a report will be sent to the Bay County Prosecutor's office for review.
