Amazon.com Inc. said it will resume drone deliveries near Phoenix on Friday, after pausing operations there earlier this week following two collisions that prompted investigations by federal regulators.

A pair of Amazon MK30 drones collided with a stationary crane at about 10 a.m. local time Wednesday, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. No injuries were reported, the agency said.
