The Colorado good Samaritan who was seriously injured by a pickup truck won't have to pay a $22 jaywalking fine after all.
The Colorado State Patrol has withdrawn the ticket issued to Jim Moffett, who was hit by the pickup after he pushed three people out of its path.
The State Patrol says it dropped the citation after examining the circumstances and consulting with prosecutors.
The patrol initially said that despite Moffett's intentions, jaywalking contributed to the accident.
Moffett and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when the accident occurred.
The patrol also withdrew jaywalking citations against the other good Samaritan and one of the two women. A citation against the pickup driver for careless driving resulting in injury still stands.
Moffett remains hospitalized in serious condition.

Or, in other words, they don't want any more publicity and are hoping it will now just dry up and blow away.
Which it most likely will do.
