Drone bursts into flames on quiet Hamptons street

A drone crashed and exploded into flames this week on a quiet Hamptons street.

The flying object slammed into the top of the Sag Harbor Variety Store in Sag Harbor shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday, officials said.

Flaming wreckage fell onto the street before a man at a nearby hardware store rushed out to douse it with a fire extinguisher.

A passing 11-year-old boy was clipped by the falling drone’s propeller but wasn’t seriously hurt.

Photographer Paul Callahan told the Sag Harbor Express he was hired to use the drone to take pictures of nearby condos when he lost control of the device.

No one was cited for the crash. Sag Harbor police said the investigation is ongoing.
