WASHINGTON - Police are trying to find the owner of a drone that crashed into a crowd during a running of the bulls event in Virginia over the weekend.

A video captured a spider-like drone flying above Virginia Motorsports Park in Richmond, Va., when it suddenly dipped and crashed into the grandstand.

The Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Office told The Washington Post that four or five people had very minor injuries.


ETA: It's not one of those big ones. It's a little one that takes videos. So who's the owner? Good question.

Who Owns the Drone that Crashed at the Virginia Bull Run?
