No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.

Bus Driver Saves Three People, Gets Ticketed For It..

Yeah, I found another one of THOSE stories.. This one comes from Denver, Colorado. Jim Moffett is a city bus driver in Denver, and last Friday, he working in town during a snowstorm, when luck struck him - Bad Luck.

Moffett and a passenger on the bus stopped to escort a pair of elderly ladies across the snow covered street, when suddenly, a pickup truck bolted past the parked bus, and was heading for the ladies in the street. Moffett quickly acted, and pushed the ladies and the other passenger out of the way. Unfortunately, he was hit by the pickup, and he suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder, and a possible ruptured spleen. Although he is expected to recover, he is currently is serious but stable condition.

That's not the punch line here. A State Trooper responding to the accident cited almost everyone involved, including Moffett. The pickup driver got tickets for careless driving leading to injury, while Moffett and the other man were cited for jaywalking. The two elderly women have not been cited yet, but the investigation continues...

According to Moffett's stepson, he is not at all pleased with being give the citation. "His reaction was dazed and confused. I was a little angry." No shit. I imagine that, being a city employee, his hospital bills would be covered, but who knows. The guy deserves a telethon....
