Guy Gets Hit By Truck Jaywalking: Has To Pay A Jaywalking Ticket

HACKENSACK, N.J. (CBS) — A New Jersey man was ticketed for jaywalking after getting hit by a pickup truck.

Hackensack police say 57-year-old Daniel Gallagher was crossing South River Street at the intersection of East Broadway on Tuesday around 6:15 p.m. when he was struck by a vehicle.

The driver told police he had a green light when he was going through the intersection and that he did not see Gallagher was in the street until it was too late.

Full story here.

Jesus Christ what else do you want to do to rub salt in this guy’s wound? If you wanted, you could just run him over with the car again to finish him off. I wrote a piece a few months ago about how absurd it is that jay-walking is still a thing, and this story plays right into it. Seems like the driver had the right of way here, and the pedestrian tried to cheat fate and paid for it. Boom. Done deal. Move along. No need to throw a fucking ticket at the guy for crossing the street at the wrong time: he’s already received the most appropriate punishment possible.

Also:

There is no word on his condition.

YOU FUCKS DON’T EVEN KNOW IF THIS GUY IS DEAD OR ALIVE AND YOU’RE STILL THROWING JAYWALKING TICKETS AT HIM! Heartless!
