A driver has smashed into a police car while playing Pokemon GO at the wheel.
An officer's body camera caught the moment the Toyota RAV4 clipped the unoccupied, parked patrol car in Baltimore, Maryland, early on Monday.

The driver pulled over about less than a mile down the road and showed police his phone connected to the hit app as he got out of the vehicle.
When police asked if he was OK, the driver - who has not been named - said: "That's what I get for playing this dumb*** game."
No-one was injured in the incident.
Police showed the video at a news conference, where they revealed two other incidents involving Pokemon hunters running into trouble.
Police have not yet decided on charges for the driver involved in the crash.
