Pokemon Go crash: CNY driver hits tree while playing game...

Taken From: http://www.syracuse.com/crime/index.ssf/..._game.html

AUBURN, N.Y. -- A driver was playing Pokemon Go Tuesday night when he swerved off an Auburn road and hit a tree, police said.

A man, 28, was trying to catch Pokemon on his phone at 10:44 p.m. while driving near 144 Owasco St., said the Auburn Police Department. Distracted by the game, the man drove his car off the roadway and crashed into a tree, police said.

The man was not seriously injured, police said. The crash left the front end of his car crumpled.

The man admitted he was playing Pokemon Go while driving, police said.

Auburn Police Chief Shawn Butler said the driver's name will be released after police finish investigating the crash. Traffic tickets are pending.

In the wake of the crash, police urged the public to use common sense when playing the game.

Police offered the following advice to Pokemon Go players:

Don't play the game while driving a car or bicycle.

Don't trespass on private property just to "catch" a Pokemon.

Avoid staring down at your phone and be aware of hazards like roadways, drop-offs and waterways.

Be cautious of who you share your location with.

Don't travel alone.

Pokemon Go is an explosively popular app. Users who play the GPS-based game use their phones to search for and catch Pokemon.

*************************

I still think the app creators are going to get sued at some point.

I saw a story yesterday about a new anchor that walk in front of the camera while the weatherman was doing his report.




people are strange.....
