If he had run out into the street for the sole purpose of pushing the ladies out of the way, then you would be right (in a moral sense; I'd like to see any municipality that actually has something on the books to the effect of one being "immune to any laws broken" while saving someone else's life.) But he didn't just dash into the street to save their lives, he was walking them across the street himself. All four of the people were guilty of jaywalking before the truck driver ever swerved out in front of them. I feel confident in assuming they weren't in a crosswalk, otherwise it wouldn't be jaywalking and there would have been no ticket.
