A man in Clemson, South Carolina, had to be hospitalized after he was hit by an SUV while playing a live version of an arcade game, CNN affiliate WYFF reports.
The 23-year-old man and some friends were acting out the video game Frogger, in which players try to send frogs across a busy highway without getting run over.
Police said the man, whose name was not released, yelled "Go!" and darted into traffic, where he was struck by a 2010 Lexus SUV.
He was treated at a local hospital and released. He is not a Clemson University student, police noted. Neither he nor the SUV driver was charged, police told WYFF.
London's Daily Mail Online compared the incident to an episode of "Seinfeld" in which George Costanza tries to move a video game across a busy street.

...I hope all the mental hospital with in Clemson South Carolina accounted for all their patients. Or better yet, I hope the circus director accounted for all his clowns.
PEOPLE! Listen up! Don't drink the bong water.
Freakin' idiot, your actions just cost another favor points for President Obama...I can see it now the Republicans will blame President Obama...
On a serious note though, I'm just glad that there wasn't any fatality but I can't seem to take this story seriously...
*Breaking News*...CNN just had a recount of the votes of who the most intriguing person in 2010. Coming from out of nowhere and darting through traffic, the most intriguing person in 2010 is...Mr. Numb Nutz!
did he died?
ROTFLMFAO. You watch he'll sue and get rich.The whole useless lot of them probably flipped a coin to see who was going to get hit and planned the lawsuit in advance.Lets hope the fool gets the bill to repair the car and all his hospital bills.
This was 100% avoidable.
Are people seriously suggesting that if you play in traffic, you can call yourself a pedestrian and claim the right of way? And if they always have the right of way, why are there crosswalks? Shouldnt they be obsolete then? If someone is so callous as to cross the street in all black at night and endanger theirself, why is it up to me to swerve and risk my life to save them? If I were the driver in this case, I would sue for damages and emotional distress. Seeing someones face in your windshield has to be traumatic
I am a firm believer that PVP should not extend to real life. Play WoW and do a battleground, you'll be happier (and safer!)
DUMB A$$!!!! And they say we were messed up back in the 80's! This guy is a MORON of the first order next you will see him playing PITFALL live maybe Ms. Pacman or JOUST how bout Donkey Kong.
Didn't he have an extra life??
MORON.
Life's tough...it's even tougher if you're stupid.
