Gotta catch 'em all

MADISON (WKOW) – The Dane County Sheriff's Office is reminding people about the dangers of playing Pokemon Go while driving after deputies responded to two crashes over the weekend.

The Sheriff's Office says the first happened at around 2:35 a.m. Saturday, when a 25-year-old Madison man missed a curve on Shady Oak Lane in the town of Verona and hit a pole. He was taken to a hospital but is expected to be okay. He was cited for his 1st Offense OWI and Inattentive Driving and admitted to playing Pokemon Go behind the wheel.

The second crash happened less than four hours later, also in Verona. The Sheriff's Office says a 26-year-old Fitchburg man drove off the road at 6585 Whalen Road and hit a tree, which caused his car to start on fire. He got out of the car safely and was also taken to the hospital, but he is expected to be okay. The man was also cited for his 1st Offense OWI, as well as operating left of center and driving without insurance.

The Dane County Sheriff's Office reminds people to give driving their full attention on the roads, and that anything that distracts people from the road puts others at risk.

That's just not true.

Only the drunk gets killed while driving and they never ever hit any other people, cars or property.
