If you judge this incident in a totally technical sense, he should have been charged with assault and possibly battery when he pushed the ladies from in front of the vehicle. If motivation is removed, his actions were clearly assault. The same could be said for Fire Trucks headed to a fire that exceed the posted speed. Technically, they are breaking the law.

As the other articles demonstrate, the driver took extraordinary means to run into this group by driving around stopped traffic.

Either way, I would believe his actions were justifiable in this circumstance.
