Ambulance hits man on bike, then charges him for a ride to the hospital

(NOVEMBER 7, 2024) Two years ago, William Hoesch was riding his bicycle in the small town of Rainier. An ambulance was also on the street. The ambulance tried to make a right turn, and it crashed into Hoesch. The bicycle was crushed under the wheel of the ambulance.

The ambulance driver took Hoesch to the hospital. Hoesch had a broken nose, scrapes, and other injuries. His medical expenses have been about $47,000. He expects he will need to spend another $50,000.

But the story doesn't end there. The ambulance company sent the man a bill for $1,862 for the ride to the hospital. 

Now the man is taking the ambulance company to court. The man wants to the company to pay for medical expenses and $900,000 for pain and suffering.
