   Cyclist files $1m lawsuit after being struck by ambulance and billed $1,800 for ride to hospital

   William Hoesch, a 71-year-old from Oregon, received a bill for $1,862 (£1,471) for the ambulance ride after he was struck. He fractured his nose in the incident, and, according to the lawsuit, has since amassed $47,000 (£37,147) in medical expenses.
