COLORADO – The Colorado State Patrol is going high tech and they expect the use of new technology to save time and possibly lives. The agency recently started using drones to secure and collect evidence at accident scenes and moving forward, instead of taking hours and hours to process the crash, drones can significantly cut down on the time. CSP Captain Darrell Aulston says,
“To be able to completely map the entire crash scene. All the evidence, fluid splatter, tire marks, topography and road design into our crash reconstructions and we can do it in minutes instead of hours,”
In addition to reducing traffic delays, they believe the use of drones will lower the chances of secondary crashes and injuries to first responders.
