A motor vehicle crash on South Beverwyck Road near Edgewood Court damaged electrical lines and a utility pole, forcing the area to be closed, Parsippany police said.
But misinformation swirled online, with posts on the Ring app and other social media groups claiming it was a large drone that crashed, police said.
"This false claim has caused a heavy amount of unneeded phone calls to our communication center," police said.
