Oregon ambulance struck cyclist, then billed him $1,800 for ride to hospital
Briefly

William Hoesch’s lawsuit against the Columbia River fire and rescue department highlights the absurdity of being billed for ambulance services after being struck by the ambulance itself.
The lawsuit alleges that Hoesch sustained permanent injuries and has incurred substantial medical expenses, totaling nearly $1 million, after being struck while cycling.
The ambulance driver’s estimation of the speed during the accident, between 2 to 10 mph, raises questions about the incident’s circumstances and responsibility.
Hoesch, now 71, is seeking compensation not only for his medical bills but also for the pain and suffering resultant from the accident.
