A US cyclist has filed an almost $1 million (£790,000) lawsuit against an ambulance provider after he was run over by an ambulance driver, who then took him to hospital in the same vehicle and billed him for the service.

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.
