TL;DR

Josh Collette, a 42-year-old California father of five, was paralyzed from the neck down after diving into the ocean to rescue a child caught in a rip current at Riviera Beach in San Clemente; he reportedly struck a sandbar or rocks, bystanders pulled him from the water, and doctors say he is now unable to speak, though the family hopes he’ll regain speech. A GoFundMe for medical costs has raised nearly $110,000 as the family braces for a long recovery.
