NY cops: Man crashed car into tree while playing Pokemon Go

He is expected to be cited in connection with the one-car accident.

As always, we at Nintendo Enthusiast strongly caution players while playing Pokemon Go.

Syracuse.com reported that the man was not seriously injured, but the front of his vehicle was damaged. Folks might not be so lucky next time. He has issued the following warnings to drivers who are obsessed about this game that allows smartphone users to fight digital monsters in real life while they search for virtual Pokemon characters. “We are trying to find out if we can get the museum excluded from the game”.

Know your surroundings and pay attention to where you’re going and who’s around you.

That all sounds fantastic on paper but, unfortunately, folks like this driver in Auburn exist.

According to university police, an illegally parked auto was struck from behind after the driver of the parked auto left his vehicle to catch a Pokemon.

So there you have it, Pokemon fans: Don’t be idiots, and definitely don’t play while operating a auto.

Avoid staring down at your phone and be aware of hazards like roadways, drop-offs and waterways. Finally, Chief Butler recommended people play in groups, especially at night.

There’s something about Pokemon GO that has turned everyone into Pokemon addicts.

Pokemon Go is available in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany.
