jaywalkingAs the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. In this case, a 58-year old man who pushed three people off the path of a speeding vehicle was cited for jaywalking. What’s worse is that the man got struck an injured for this heroic deed.

According to reports, Jim Moffett and another companion helped two elderly women cross a busy street in Denver, Colorado. At that time, there was a snowstorm thus these women were having trouble crossing the street.

Moffett was in serious condition after the incident, having incurred broken bones and dislocated shoulder.

State Trooper Ryan Sullivan told the local media that despite the good intentions of Moffett, the jaywalking still caused the accident to happen. The State Patrol issued the citation to Moffett and his companion. The driver of the vehicle was also cited for careless driving. It is still unclear if the two elderly women will be cited for jaywalking since the State Patrol did not clarify this query.
