    The Brief
    The Orlando Fire Department confirmed one person was taken to a local
    hospital after suffering an injury at the holiday light drone show at Lake
    Eola Park in downtown Orlando on Saturday.

    FOX 35 News spoke with the parents of a 7-year-old boy who was injured
    during the incident.

    His parents said he was knocked out on impact when a drone came crashing
    down into the crowd. He sustained a chest injury and underwent open-heart surgery the following day.

    ORLANDO, Fla. - One person was taken to an area hospital for an injury
    after red and green-lit drones collided and plummeted into a crowd at Lake
    Eola Park in downtown Orlando during a holiday drone show on Saturday, authorities said.

    FOX 35 News spoke with the family of Alezander, a 7-year-old boy, who was injured in the incident.

    His parents, Adriana Edgerton and Jessica Lumsden, said one of the drones knocked him out on impact, causing a chest injury.

    Alezander underwent open-heart surgery the following day, according to his family.

    Lumsden told FOX 35 News on Tuesday that their son is stable after
    surgery. Alezander is "still being monitored but he hasn't given up and is
    so determined to walk again," she said in a statement. They will be
    spending the Christmas holiday in the intensive care unit (ICU).

    A video shared with FOX 35 News captured drones crashing into the lake and veering close to spectators. Shortly after, the City of Orlando canceled
    the second show, citing technical difficulties in a statement on X.

    A spokesperson for the City of Orlando confirmed that the FAA is leading
    the investigation. "We are in contact with the vendor to determine what occurred," the spokesperson said.

    Typically, during a synchronized drone show, the drones are linked up by
    GPS. Experts suggested various potential causes for the malfunction.

    Drone expert, Dr. Vivek Sharma of Florida Institute of Technology,
    speculated that the failure might stem from GPS interference, programming errors, or drone collisions.

    It is not yet clear what led to the drone malfunctions.
