While not fatal, a driver in Baltimore attempting to catch 'em all crashed into a police cruiser, with the incident caught on one of the officer's body cams.
After witnessing an SUV slamming into the patrol car, the police ran down to see the driver outside his vehicle, cellphone still in hand.

One of the most troubling reports from the game is the fact Pokemon Go players in Bosnia are being warned to stay away from areas of the country with large numbers of unexploded landmines.
An estimated 120,000 mines remain buried from the Bosnian War between 1992 and 1995.
Since the end of the conflict, 600 people have been killed by the devices and now a charity believes Pokemon Go will cause this to skyrocket.
The charity, Posavina bez mina, published a warning to gamers on its Facebook.
"Today we received information that some users of the Pokemon Go app in Bosnia were going to places which are a risk for (unexploded) mines, in search of a Pokemon," it wrote.
"Citizens are urged not to do so, to respect demarcation signs of dangerous mine fields and not to go into unknown areas."
