I guess this had to hapen eventually:
Pokémon Go-related car accident kills woman in Japan
The driver was playing the game when he hit and killed one woman and injured another.
A DRIVER WHO WAS allegedly playing Pokémon Go when he hit and killed a woman in Japan has been arrested, police said Wednesday.
Media said that Tuesday’s incident marked Japan’s first fatal vehicle accident involving the popular gaming app.
Keiji Gooh, a 39-year-old farmer, allegedly struck two women on Tuesday evening on a road in Tokushima city, western Japan, as he played the app while driving, a police spokesman said.
One of the women, aged 72, died while the other, 60, was seriously injured, the spokesman said.
Jiji Press said it was the nation’s first fatal accident involving a driver playing Pokémon Go while at the wheel.
Jiji also said there have been nearly 80 accidents in Japan involving modes of transportation including cars and bicycles since the app was introduced into Japan last month.
