Pokemon Go Players Are Now Murdering People

NHK reports that two women were crossing the road on 23/08/2016 at around 7:25 pm in Tokushima, Japan when they were hit. One of the women was fatally injured and she later succumbed to her injuries.
The driver of the car, reported to be 39 year-old Keiji Goh, acknowledged that he wasn’t paying attention to the road as he was busy playing Pokemon Go. The woman who passed away was 72-year old Sachiko Nakanish. The other woman, 60 year-old Kayoko Igawa, is reported to have suffered serious injuries as a result of this accident.
The report mentions that Goh has since been arrested and has been quoted as saying “I was playing Pokémon Go while driving, so I didn’t really see what was in front of me.” This, despite the fact that Pokemon Go was updated this month with a warning specifically for players who think it would be a good idea to play a mobile game while driving. It’s not.
