The police force recently released a video that shows a young man drive straight into a parked police car, apparently too distracted by Pokemon to look at the road.
Thankfully nobody was hurt, though if you watch the video above then you can see how it could have been a hell of a lot worse.
‘That’s what I get for playing this dumb-a** game’, said the driver as he got out of the car to talk to police. I don’t wanna be that guy, but that’s more what you get for being a tool that uses his phone while driving.
This news follows a man who was stabbed while out playing the game late at night, a young girl who got hit by a car, and another man who managed to wrap his car around a tree.
Frankly, it’s a miracle that there haven’t been any reported deaths as a result of Pokemon GO yet, though I imagine one is on the way.
Seriously – look where you’re going while you play Pokemon GO, otherwise it’s just natural selection at this point.
