A California father of five was paralyzed from the neck down after entering the ocean in an effort to help a young child who his family said was caught in a rip current.
Josh Collette, 42, was spending time with his family at Riviera Beach in San Clemente, California, on Aug. 15, when a child believed to be 7- or 8-years-old became caught in a rip current, the man's sister, Hillary Collette, told KTLA.
The child's mother first entered the water to go after her child, but Josh Collette ran past her and dove into the ocean in an effort to help the child, Hillary Collette told the outlet.
