You need to rely on yourself to make sure the drone has enough clearance when in Tracking mode. Example you would be silly to be Actively Tracking in a Thick Forest, you are just asking for trouble. In this case you should see the road has over hanging trees.
Edit : It looked like the drone sensed the obstacle and tried to hover but was already inside the branch when it clipped it and fell. Hopefully u have DJI Care Refresh.

Good observation.
To the OP, if you were depending on obstacle avoidance to avoid the tree, it only works well on solid, well-defined obstructions like buildings and tree trunks, not so well on branches sticking out all over and confusing the sensors. |
