Cops: Two Drunken Guys Crashed Their Cars While Playing Pokémon Go

In separate incidents early Saturday, two intoxicated Wisconsin motorists crashed their cars while playing Pokémon Go, investigators charge.

According to cops, the first accident occurred at 2:35 AM when Benjamin Schappe, 25, “failed to negotiate a curve” and struck a pole in Verona, a town outside Madison. Schappe was transported to a local hospital with “non-life-threatening injuries.”

Schappe, a Madison resident, was cited for drunk driving and inattentive driving.

At 6:27 AM, Jordan Speigle drove off the road and into a tree in Verona, according to the Dane County Sheriff’s Office. Speigle’s Mitsubishi Galant caught fire after the crash, but the 26-year-old was able to escape from the vehicle.

Speigle--who was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital--was cited for drunk driving and driving without insurance.
