Two Israelis injured in Pokemon Go accidents.
A 35-year-old man sustained moderate injuries on Thursday morning after he crashed into glass in Rishon LeZion while hunting virtual characters.
He had a broken leg and a deep gash wound. Magen David Adom paramedics who tended to the injured gamer said that the man was lying next to a glass door which had smashed.
“He was bleeding from his leg. He told us that he began a chase for one of the characters, didn’t notice the door and smashed into it. We gave him first aid treatment which included stopping the bleeding and bandaging the wound and evacuated him at the same time in moderate condition,” said a paramedic.
In a separate incident on Wednesday night, a 15-year-old girl was severely injured after she fell off her bike while playing the game in Karmiel. She was rushed to the Medical Center Of The Galilee in Nahariya having sustained injuries which included a cracked skull and intracranial hemorrhage. She is now reported to be in moderate and stable condition.
