    Police in Upton used a drone camera to find an injured hiker in a wooded conservation area on Tuesday.

    The Upton Police Department published drone footage of the rescue effort, which involved firefighters and emergency medical service personnel, along with mutual aid partners from Hopkinton, Hopedale and Grafton, according to the Upton police.

    Authorities received a call at about 8 a.m. on Tuesday for a 54-year-old man with a lower leg fracture, according to Upton Police Chief Michael Bradley. The police department deployed an all-terrain vehicle and a drone to find the man in a wooded area off East Street near Peppercorn Hill Conservation Area.
