The world inched its way closer to its first Pokemon GO-related death this week, as two men took steep falls from a cliff in Southern California while playing the wildly popular game.
Following news of the first verified Poke-car crash, authorities told TheWrap on Thursday that two men had to be rescued in Encinitas, California, after tumbling from a cliff while on the hunt for Pokemon characters.
A spokesperson for the Encinitas Fire Department said that the department responded to a cliff rescue call involving two men on Wednesday at 1:10 p.m. One of the men had fallen all the way to the sand below, a distance of some 70 to 80 feet.
