A Colorado man who was rescued from his overturned car during a flood last year is suing the first responders who saved his life. Roy Ortiz, who was trapped in floodwaters for two hours before divers freed him, says rescuers should have gotten to him sooner. “I’m really happy to be alive,” said Ortiz, “but I’m looking for some help in paying my bills.” He wants $500,000 for his injuries and “emotional distress.”
