A cyclist claims he was hit by an ambulance, then billed $1,800 to take him to the hospital.

William Hoesch, 71, was cycling through Rainier in Columbia County, Oregon in the US in October 2022 when an ambulance returning from another incident made a right turn and crashed into him, according to his lawsuit.

Hoesch suffered a broken nose, lacerations and other injuries, and his bicycle was crushed under the wheel of the ambulance.

In an initial police report, Oregon State Police said the ambulance driver was driving between 3 and 10 mph when they reported hearing a crash, pulled over to see what had happened and found Hoesch injured. .

The 71-year-old, meanwhile, told the police that he was cycling between 7 and 13 km/h when the ambulance cut him off.

The same ambulance that hit Hoesch took him to the hospital for treatment.

But Hoesch claims he was then hit with a $1,862 bill for the ambulance ride.

Now, he's suing ambulance provider Columbia River Fire & Rescue, seeking $997,000 in damages.

That includes $900,000 in compensation for "pain and suffering" caused by the accident, $47,000 in medical expenses and $50,000 in the cost of his estimated future medical bills as he continues to suffer impaired movement, compromised grip strength and other injuries, the lawsuit alleges.
