BRIGHTON, Wis. (WFRV) – An Apple Alert notification alerted local authorities to a crash in southeast Wisconsin, where a thermal drone had to be used to find the wreck deep in a wooded area.
Just after 11:30 p.m. on Friday, June 13, first responders with the Kansasville Fire and Rescue Department say they got an Apple automated crash notification alerting them to a crash near the intersection of STH 142 and 224th Avenue in Brighton.
Deputies with the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office immediately responded but were not able to find the vehicle right away. Using a thermal-imaging drone, the car was found roughly 50 feet off the roadway and hidden in thick brush and multiple trees.
