Injured good Samaritan won’t be ticketed

? The Colorado State Patrol has withdrawn the $22 jaywalking ticket issued to a good Samaritan who was seriously injured by a pickup after he pushed three people out of its path.

Bus driver Jim Moffett of Denver and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when he was hit Feb. 20.

Moffett, 58, suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen. He remained hospitalized in serious condition Friday.

The State Patrol said in a statement that it withdrew the citation “after examining the … circumstances” and consulting with prosecutors. Colorado State Patrol spokesman Sgt. John Hahn said the citation didn’t meet the standard to be filed in court.
