Pokemon GO was responsible for two more deaths this week as the mobile game continues to take the world by storm.
According to a report by Geek.com ,”two people have died in Japan in two separate accidents because of drivers focusing on Pokemon Go instead of the road, and a third person remains seriously injured”.
The first incident occurred when a pedestrian was hitting crossing the street Kasugai.
“The driver admitted he was playing Pokemon Go while driving, which had drained his phone battery. He hit the woman while looking away from the road and the game to plug his phone in to charge.”
“The second accident occurred on Tuesday evening when a 39-year-old driver hit two women crossing the street in Tokushima. He admitted to playing Pokemon Go while driving and didn’t see the pedestrians.”
It is of course human negligence more than Niantic’s app that causing these deaths, but we feel we should still remind gamers not to play Pokemon GO and drive.
