(5,214 posts)cars had gone off the road into a field and were banged up, No one was hurt beyond a few bruises. We were all standing around talking to the state policeman who had shown up (the barracks was just down the road) and waiting for tows. At that point an ambulance showed up, although neither of us drivers, nor the cop had called for one. Turned out a passing motorist had taken upon himself to call the ambulance. We refused unnecessary treatment and the ambulance left empty. Wow, the bills both of us drivers were sent were enormous! We were in touch and both agreed not to pay because neither of us nor the police had called. After some back and forth the ambulance service let it drop because they had just been called by an anonymous and long gone passer-by.
