The woman was riding her bicycle in a rural area outside in Jinhua when she slammed into the drone, which was hovering just off the ground while refilling pesticide for a nearby field it was being used to spray.

The victim remains hospitalized. She also lost half of one of her middle fingers in the incident after her hand connected with the blades of the drone's propellers.

Despite having an operating license for the drone, the man running it at the time has still been detained by local police on allegations of negligence.
