CNN Drone Falls on Crowd of Hundreds at Boston Celtics Watch Party, Injured Fans

Two fans attending a basketball watch party were injured Tuesday, with one leaving on a stretcher, after a CNN drone crashed into the crowd.

Hundreds of people were gathered in the City Hall Plaza in Boston to attend a Boston Celtics' season-opening NBA Watch Party hosted by TNT. A CNN drone that was covering the event struck a pole and fell onto two attendees on Tuesday.

One victim was "bleeding heavily" from his hand while the other was taken out by a stretcher for "significant pain" in her head, neck, and shoulders, Boston 25 News reported. Both injuries are non-life-threatening.

A CNN employee, who is licensed by the FAA to operate the drone, flew it between two trees before accidentally striking a pole, which caused the drone to crash.

"Unfortunately, there was an incident involving a drone and fans attending tonight's event. On-site medical and safety personnel immediately attended to the situation. We are currently investigating further and wish all involved well," TNT said.

No charges have been filed in connection to the incident.
