ORLANDO, Fla. – The mother of the child injured when drones collided and fell into the crowd during a downtown Orlando holiday show has filed a lawsuit against the city of Orlando and several companies involved in the incident, court records show.

The boy, who was 7 years old at the time, was hit in the stomach by one of the drones and was taken to the hospital where he had to have emergency surgery after doctors told his family the drone shocked his heart, his mother Adriana Edgerton told News 6 in December 2024.
