So yesterday I flew my spark to an altitude to get above some fog and pretty high up, I started seeing that the craft was drifting at about 11 mph and was rapidly leaving the home point, so I started to try and come down and the Spark wouldn't respond to any commands I sent it. It was as if the wind was the only controlling factor in where it was headed, no matter what I did. I tried to bring it back as fast as I could, but I was helpless. At this time the Spark was coming down at up to 14 mph, which is more than twice the speed I have ever seen it coming down in my life(It usually comes down at a max of 6 mph, if I put it in landing mode and have the sticks all the way down). I believe that the motors failed, as it was giving me motor overload errors and obviously couldn't pick itself up(even with the left stick all the way up it wouldn't respond) and believe that I had recieved a faulty Spark. I do have DJI care refresh, which I thought could replace the drone, but it apparently cannot replace the quad if you cannot find the quad.
We looked for it in the field we believe it landed in for 4 hours yesterday, and another 3 hours today, and could not locate the quad. We even tried to calculate about where the drone could be, and there was no such luck in finding it there either. My flight logs are here. (Yes I know it's a bad log, but the crash was due to errors with the quad, not pilot error(Although I probably will never do another high altitude flight after this ever again, as hopefully it would drift left).

Notice the errors on the right of it.
