Pokemon Go a Big Distraction for Drivers!

The famous app of Pokemon go is causing a lot of accidents between drivers. The last accident was registered last week when two people were driving while playing and their cars crashed causing their death. The vehicle was totally destroyed.

So far in Japan, there have been at least three fatal car accidents, including the fatal struck of a 9-year-old boy while walking on a pedestrian crosswalk on his way back home from school.

The app developer has disabled some features of of the game to keep players and citizens safe.
