Pokemon player crashes into school

A man made an unplanned Pokestop after crashing his car into a Melbourne school.

He was trying to capture a creature from the Pokemon Go mobile phone app when he lost control while negotiating a roundabout.

The car smashed through a fence and into a school portable building in Berwick at 6.50pm yesterday. Luckily, no one was injured.

The 19-year-old was likely be charged in relation to careless driving, police said.

The crash comes just days after VicRoads introduced almost 40 flashing road signs warning drivers "Don't drive and Pokemon".

Police have warned catching a Pikachu while driving could earn you a $A466 fine and four demerit points.

Those hunting for the digital creatures on foot were also warned to be aware of vehicles and other pedestrians, during the search.

The game has been downloaded more than 50 million times from the Google Play store and is top of the Australian charts for free iOS apps.
