BEND, Ore. — The wife of a 39-year-old central Oregon man gored to death by a yak on his hobby farm is suing Deschutes County’s 911 for $7 million, saying a dispatcher failed to send an ambulance when the man called and tried to ask for help.
Brian Wing moaned in pain but was unable to speak clearly after he dialed 911 on his cell phone from his Redmond area farm on Aug. 16, 2017, according to the lawsuit filed last week. Dispatchers failed to send help, even though 13 seconds into the call the 911 system pinged Wing’s phone and determined it was in the vicinity of one of his neighbors’ lots, the suit states.
