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. 
 
 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. ||||| — A 23-year-old man was hit by a sport utility vehicle this week after intentionally stepping out into traffic while he was playing a game. 
 
 Clemson Police Chief Jimmy Dixon is withholding the man’s name, saying that he does not want to cause any more discord for the 23-year-old or for the woman who was driving the SUV that hit him. 
 
 The man was hit Monday night around 9 p.m., and is expected to be released from AnMed Health Medical Center in Anderson later this afternoon . 
 
 Dixon said the man lives in the city but is not a student at Clemson University. 
 
 The man was hit at U.S. 76 and College Avenue in Clemson. 
 
 Before he was hit, the man and two of his friends had been discussing a game known as “Frogger.” The arcade game was released in the early 1980s, and in it, players try to move frogs through a busy road and a dangerous river. 
 
 During the discussion of the game, the man yelled, “Go,” and then started darting into the highway with oncoming traffic. 
 
 He was hit by a white 2010 Lexus SUV. 
 
 No charges are anticipated against the driver of the SUV, Dixon said. 
 
 Dixon said alcohol is suspected to have been a factor in the man’s decision to step out in front of traffic. But the chief cannot confirm that, he said, because there are no blood-alcohol test results available yet. 
 
 “I’ve never heard of anything like this,” Dixon said. “I had to ask questions to even find out what ‘Frogger’ is.”
– In a case of life imitating Seinfeld, a 23-year-old guy in South Carolina thought it would be a great idea to play a real-life version of Frogger—and got hit by an SUV for his trouble. The man was talking about the video game with friends—it involves navigating frogs across a busy road—before shouting “go” and running into traffic Monday night, the AP reports. He was hospitalized, but was set to be released yesterday; the driver will likely not be charged. The police chief, not surprisingly, suspects alcohol may have been involved. “I’ve never heard of anything like this,” he tells the Independent Mail. “I had to ask questions to even find out what Frogger is.”
