this has nothing to do with the drivers besides that they ran over someone but the company but still.

An ambulance slammed into a cyclist in Oregon — breaking his nose and smashing his bike — then billed him more than $1,800 for a ride to the hospital, according to a new lawsuit.

William Hoesch, 71, is suing Columbia River Fire & Rescue for nearly $1 million, claiming an ambulance driver for the company left him with the outrageous bill along with permanent injuries and roughly $100,000 in medical expenses, oregonlive.com reported.

Hoesch was pedaling through the tiny town of Rainier, near the Columbia River, in October 2022 when the big red ride plowed into him while trying to make a right turn — crushing him under the wheel of the ambulance, according to the suit, filed on Oct. 24.
