Cheryl Prehelm of 9 NEWS in Denver writes in the May 7 Denver Post about a bus driver who was working the late shift on a snowy night in February. Two elderly women got off the bus. The driver and another passenger got off the bus to help the women cross the street. Just before a truck plowed into the bus driver, he and the other man pushed the women out of the way of the truck. Not only did he get injuries to his head and legs, causing him to spend five weeks in the hospital, but a cop also gave him a ticket for jaywalking! The driver, who may never be able to drive a bus again, had this to say: "When you've got little old ladies in a snowstorm with carts, one of them has already fallen and you aren't sure she is going to be able to make it, you are going to get out and help her."
Although he has no regrets, I hope the cop who gave him the ticket for jaywalking does.

What a crook by the cop. And I usually support police but that's just dumb. Makes the cop look stupid not the bus driver.
