Here’s even more proof that it doesn’t pay to try and help other people . . .

Last Friday, a 58-year-old bus driver named Jim Moffett, from Adams County, Colorado was driving his route when two elderly women got off the bus . . . and attempted to cross the busy street.

So, being the gentleman that he is, Jim . . . along with another passenger . . . got off the bus to help the two old ladies. But as they were crossing . . . Jim was hit by a pickup truck.

According to his stepson, quote, “Jim saw [the truck] coming and pushed the three others out of the way and took the truck head on. He was knocked clean out of his shoes, his hearing aids were knocked out of his head and his glasses knocked off of his face.”

Jim suffered broken bones in his face, leg and wrist, as well as a dislocated shoulder, a ruptured spleen and liver . . . and bleeding in his brain. But listen to THIS . . .

After he was rushed to the hospital, Jim got a $22 ticket . . . for JAYWALKING!

According to a police spokesman, quote, “We understand Mr. Moffett was doing something with great intentions, but . . . the reason this crash happened was because they were on the road. It’s extremely dangerous to jaywalk there.”

Jim is expected to make a full recovery . . . and he says he has no regrets about what he did.

This is just a random picture of an old lady…I thought it would add to the visual!
