CLEMSON, S.C. – A man has been hospitalized after police in South Carolina say he was hit by an SUV while playing a real-life version of the video game "Frogger."

Authorities said the 23-year-old man was taken to a hospital in Anderson after he was struck at around 9 p.m. Monday.

In the "Frogger" arcade game, players move frogs through traffic on a busy road and through a hazard-filled river. Before he was hit, police say the man had been discussing the game with his friends.

Chief Jimmy Dixon says the man yelled "go" and darted into oncoming traffic in the four-lane highway.

Yes, but in Frogger, you play from a top down view... maybe if the SUV had killed him, then he'd have been able to play top down.
Undoubtedly would also have earned him a Darwin award.

He was in stable condition? This man's brain wasn't in stable condition BEFORE he was hit.

Maybe there was a dime on the end of the SUV.

It knocked some cents into him

the guy did it all wrong, as said earlier, it's much harder to do without a top-down view - if you lack a top down view, you must rely on the force to see - something he clearly did not do

If I was the driver, I wouldn't gently steered towards him to make sure he couldn't dodge the car.
