Thermal drone locates motorcyclist after crash
first responders from the Weyauwega Area Fire Department were called to the intersection of U.S. Highway 10 and County Highway U at around 2:41 am for a report of a motorcyclist who had collided with a deer.
When the first responders arrived at the scene of the accident, they couldn’t locate the rider. A thermal drone was used by the Weyauwega Area firefighters to help locate the motorcyclist after about 20 minutes. He was found by some large hay bales in a neighboring field.
The motorcyclist suffered severe head injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital, according to Fox 11 News.
