BUNA, Texas — A Buna woman has filed suit against Williams A. Ambulance and two of its employees, alleging her wrist snapped while she was attempting to adjust a stretcher.

Tracey L. Horning, an emergency medical technician with Beaumont-based Williams A. Ambulance, claims she and her partner were dispatched to pick up a patient at Jasper Memorial Hospital on April 20, 2007.

To transfer a patient from the hospital bed to a stretcher, the stretcher's height must be adjusted so it is similar to the height of the hospital bed, according to the complaint filed April 7 in Jefferson County District Court.
