Some Idiot Crashed His Car Into A Tree Because He Was Playing ‘Pokémon Go’

Well, that didn’t take very long.

Perhaps the only thing hotter than “Pokémon Go” right now is Kate Upton getting out of a swimming pool. I mean, everybody is playing the location-based augmented reality mobile game right now. Hell, even my mom is playing it. She sucks at it, but still, the point is that if she’s playing it, then everybody is.

Of course, that usually means it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing batshit crazy headlines associated with whatever it is that everybody is doing, and it’s apparently not going to be any different this time around with “Pokémon Go.”

In roughly one week since the game’s release, players have been robbed at gunpoint, stumbled upon dead bodies, interrupted mourners at the Holocaust Museum and now…wait for it…crashed their cars into trees because they were busy trying to capture Pokémon instead of keeping their eyes on the road.

Police in Auburn, New York, said the driver wasn’t seriously hurt, but he will likely be ticketed for his actions Tuesday night. No word if he actually caught Pokémon before slamming his ride into the tree, but if he did, then it of course would have been totally worth it.
