A man and his dog were hit by a vehicle near Soft as a Grape on Route 6 Monday evening, causing the man to be airlifted to a Boston hospital, according to police.

Wareham Police officers responded to the area of 328 Marion Road (Route 6) at 7:50 p.m. Monday and found the man lying on the side of the road.
