A Massachusetts man is suing a New Hampshire water park, claiming he nearly drowned in a crowded wave pool.
Gregorio Ortega-Mejia of Haverhill filed the suit last month against Water Country, according to the Union Leader.
The newspaper reports Ortega-Mejia claimed he became submerged at the bottom of the wave pool for a "lengthy period of time" on July 26, 2014.
The suit accuses the Portsmouth park of not having a sufficient number of lifeguards on duty to monitor pool activity, says the paper.
The suit also claims Ortega-Mejia was rushed to a local hospital where he was treated for hypoxic brain injury and other injuries.
