Here's the definition of adding insult to injury.

A good Samaritan who pushed three people out of the way of a speeding truck in Denver, only to be hit himself and suffer serious injuries, was given a ticket for jaywalking.

When Jim Moffett came out of intensive care and was told of the ticket, he "was a little angry."

On another note

And you thought walking through 10 miles of waist-deep snow to school was bad.

Officials in a remote area of Australia canceled a ferry used to bring Aboriginal children to school through a crocodile-infested swamp because it was deemed too unsafe.

Unfortunately, the kids now have to walk through the swamp to get to ****

i'm sure that ticket isn't going to stick. some of these ticket agents and cops don't really think when their focus is on meeting that quota.

Yeah I'm going to say that no judge would rule against him and heck I'd be surprised if the cops didn't just cancel it along with a big sorry note.

The cop would've canceled it while he was in intensive care, if that would had happened. Nah, cops really don't think when they give out tickets. This is one of the main reasons why I hate the policy of minimum tickets cops can give. It gives ways to corruption.

maybe a judge will throw it out but the cops wont the point behind handing out the ticket was because the cop saw the jaywalking as a cause leading up to the event that wouldn't have happened if the people had not been jaywalking in the first place. (this is the cops thoughts not my own) I personally think it is crap for sure I mean a driver who isn't paying attention to the things on the road shouldn't be on the road.

I can picture it in my mind. He's lying on the ground in extreme pain, the police come over and throw the ticket onto him and say "See you in court, scum bag. Teach you not to break the law" and then they walk off.

You forgot to add that the cop kicks him before walking off. There is no way this will stick in court.

I am sure he'll be able to remove it. But that's not the point. The person expects to be ,at least, appreciated when doing the good thing. This guy in the story was not only denied being appreciated, but was also punished. This is not right.

Well I for one have learned a valuble lesson from this. If I ever see a pre school on fire with a bunch of adorable children inside, I'll wait until I find the proper crossing area before trying to save anyone.:P

Saving three people? I'd laugh when I got the ticket. I would ask to be able to frame it after paying it.

lol and people wonder why I don't like policemen. There are some nice ones here and there but most of them are just drunk with power and will use any excuse to meet their precious ticket quota.
