Adding insult to injury

An Oregon cyclist who was struck by an ambulance that made a right turn into him — fracturing his nose and leaving him with scrapes and other injuries across his body — has filed a $997,000 lawsuit against the ambulance provider after it scooped him up, drove him to the hospital and then billed him for the service, according to the suit.

    Maybe the ambulance driver was moonlighting as an Uber driver.

    Usually ambo rates are set by the state. You ride in it, you pay $XXX. If he didn’t want to go to the hospital, he should have said so.

      I'm pretty sure he didn't want to get hit by the ambulance either.

    An Oregon cyclist...

    Probably the sight of a hemp-shorted, e-cig vaping, Starbucks-swilling, gaia-worshiping Biden/Harris fag with a man bun triggered the ambulance driver. I'll allow it.

    I will give long odds the guy was camping in the ambulance's blind spot before it turned right.
