Ambulance hits cyclist, rushes him to hospital, then sticks him with $1,800 bill


The cyclist, who suffered a broken nose, was initially treated at the scene by the ambulance driver.

The suit claims that Hoesch’s uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage is obligated to cover any damages that Columbia River Fire & Rescue is unable to. According to the lawsuit, Hoesch was pedaling through the small town of Rainier in Columbia County in October 2022 when he and the ambulance were traveling the same direction on a street that’s a mix of homes and businesses. The crash happened in front of Columbia River Fire & Rescue’s Rainier station, as the ambulance was returning from a trip.
