Pokemon Go hunting and driving don’t really mix up too well, as there’s been another accident, this time in Australia.
A 19-year old driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed on a wall at the St. Francis Xavier College in Berwick, on Thursday evening, as TheAge reports.
The man’s quest for the little cartoons made him overshoot a roundabout, smash through a fence and hit a portable classroom, which, fortunately, was empty at the time.
Nobody was injured in the latest Pokemon Go-related car crash, but the local police did see the perfect opportunity to make a statement sprinkled with many jokes: “The 19-year old did not level up nor collect any stardust or candies, only debris from the crash. Any ‘Poke balls’, eggs or potions the driver may have had remaining only attracted police, leaving the wild Pokemon for another day“, Julie-Anne Newmann, police spokeswoman, said.
The young man is expected to be charged with careless driving, but this isn’t the first and it probably won’t be the last Pokemon Go-related accident, as another motorist crashed into a police car in Baltimore, US, while he was trying to “catch ’em all”. That accident was recorded by the officer’s camera and led to an epic comment, from the angry driver: “That’s what I get for playing this dumb-a$$ game.“
