Almost a Darwin Award Winner


A man from Clemson, SC. decided it would be a good idea to play Frogger across a 4 lane highway in Clemson. Obviously, the man was not very good at the game as he was hit by a SUV.

From the Independentmail: 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.
Believe it or not, alcohol was involved. This idiot was an almost Darwin award winner.
