Hmmm?

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - A man who was hit by a truck near the city's downtown was also slapped with a citation. Boise police ticketed Ebrahim Balah, 62, for jaywalking shortly after the accident Wednesday.

Police said Balah suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital as a precaution.

Police said he was hit by a passenger truck while trying to cross a busy one-way street.
Officials said the section Balah tried crossing is not a designated walkway and pedestrians are not permitted to cross.
