Amid rescue efforts after massive flooding in Texas, an illegal drone struck a helicopter involved in an emergency response in Kerr County.

The collision forced an emergency landing by the helicopter and has now taken it out of service, Kerrville City Hall said.

The rescue happened more out of luck than design. The owner of the drone, Lai Zhongxin, normally uses his vehicles to spray fertilizer and transport construction materials, the CCTV report said.
