While many have warned of the downside of "Pokémon GO," including worries about distracted driving, one Tri-State couple might have the game to thank for saving their lives. A group of friends playing "Pokémon GO" spent Sunday traveling the Tri-State, playing the popular game.They were on Martin Luther King Drive on Sunday evening and found and helped a couple in distress.Deion Collier said they were on their way home when they came upon a slowly rolling car on the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard overpass over I-71 with two unconscious people inside.The couple had apparently overdosed in their car.At first, the four friends who spotted them thought they might be playing "Pokémon Go" while driving.“The car was just moving slow, as if they were trying to catch a Pokémon or something,” said Collier.Watch this report“When we drove past, at first it did look like they were both just looking down at their phones, and then we realized that they weren’t moving at all,” said Kenneth Wright.Collier, Wright, Jasmine Brown and Emerald Broach hopped out of their car and stopped the couple’s car.They got the car in park and Collier said he called 911. Operators told him to get the man and woman out of the car and begin CPR if possible.“She was blue in the face already. So it was really scary. I was like, 'Oh, my gosh' because she was barely breathing,” said Brown.An Anderson Township EMS unit came upon the scene and helped take the two to a nearby hospital, where they were treated for possible overdoses.Collier and his friends caught the aftermath of the scene on Facebook Live.“When I saw what was going on, I just started to pray for them, because that’s what I was always taught to do,” Broach said.If they hadn’t been there, Wright wonders if anyone else would have stopped in time.“A lot of cars just drove past. That’s unacceptable,” Wright said, “That bothers me.” RELATED: Pokémon GO has fans staring at phones across Tri-StateNot only did they stop to help, they went to the hospital and prayed for the victims.“I was just so glad she was OK, because the paramedics said they possibly wouldn’t make it, so once I found out she did, I just immediately wanted to go pray for her,” Collier said.Collier has since started a Go Fund Me account to help raise money to get repairs to his car.
