Man Reenacts "Frogger," Gets Hit by Car

CLEMSON, South Carolina - A man has been hospitalized after police in South Carolina say he was hit by a sport utility vehicle 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.

No charges are expected against the driver. The name of the man who was struck has not been released. He was in stable condition Monday night.

Get your story straight CBS. This man wasn't playing Frogger, he and his friends were talking about the game Frogger before it happend. He just so happened to not pay attention when he walked across the road (in a crosswalk where the lights don't work, might I add). Score one more point for the media always distorting the truth. Way to ruin society CBSNEWS.
