ASHEBORO, NC (WHDH) — Deputies rescued a missing elderly person lost in a corn field.

Officials used a drone to get a bird’s eye view of the field after the woman went missing Sunday around 11:30 a.m.

Drone pilot Officer Adam Krolfifer located the missing person within 25 minutes as the search slowed due to difficult terrain.

The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office said the woman is okay.
