So, abounding players in rural areas got abaft the caster to seek out their admired Pokémon in the agrarian — a accommodation that appears to accept led to a fasten in car accidents abreast accepted in-game hotspots, a new abstraction finds.

To amount out how abounding car crashes were acquired by "Pokémon Go," the advisers acclimated abstracts from allowance claims and badge reports. Amid March 1, 2015, and Nov. 30, 2015, there were added than 11,300 car accidents that additionally had geographic abstracts available.

The accidents could be beneath astringent for a cardinal of reasons, according to the study. For example, players ability accept advisedly slowed bottomward to accomplish abiding they had abundant time to aggregate items from the PokéStop afore casual it. In addition, abounding of the PokéStops in Tippecanoe Canton are begin abreast parks, cemeteries, memorials and added places with bargain acceleration limits, the advisers wrote.
