Police capture 'Pokémon Go' player crashing into a cop's car

We shouldn't have to say this, but don't play Pokémon Go and drive.

The Baltimore Police Department released body cam footage, which captured a man crashing his vehicle into a parked police cruiser.

In the clip, which occurred on Monday at approximately 3:30 a.m., officers can be seen standing on the sidewalk next to a parked police car on the corner of an intersection. In the distance Toyota Rav4 can be seen traveling through the intersection, and striking the police car before continuing down the block. Fortunately, the police car was empty.

When the driver exited the vehicle, he admitted that he was distracted playing Pokémon Go.

"That's what I get for playing this dumbass game," the driver said with his phone in hand.

Thankfully, the driver and passengers were uninjured in the crash.

Of course this isn't the first time the augmented reality video game distracted gamers from the real world around them.

Last week, two young men were rescued after falling off of a cliff in California and a man crashed into a tree in Auburn, New York, while playing. Both incidents occurred because the people involved were distracted.
