Man survives Arizona Desert drinking Wiper Fluid
PHOENIX AZ - Henry Morello prayed to Saint Anthony, the patron saint of lost things. But as the 84-year-old spent a fifth night stuck in a ditch in the Arizona desert, he started to lose hope. "My phone went dead, my battery went dead, and I went dead," Morello said. But Morello lived to tell his tale at a Phoenix hospital, where the diabetic man was admitted in good condition despite drinking windshield wiper fluid to stay hydrated. He didn't have water, Morello said, so he broke open the wiper fluid container with a rock and filtered it with napkin to try to make it safe. Morello said he made a wrong turn while driving home from the Phoenix suburb . Morello became stranded when - realizing he took a wrong turn - he made a U-turn and wound up in a ditch. He tried to crawl out of the car, but did not get far and returned. He ripped a chrome piece from his car and put it on the roof, hoping someone would see the reflection. A pack of hikers found him Saturday morning. He heard a knock on a window from a hiker, and suddenly his long, painful ordeal was over. Doctors at John C. Lincoln Hospital said he arrived in good condition considering what he had been through. Morello will remain there for a few days while he is treated for kidney damage. Dr. Kevin Veale said initial reports were that Morello had consumed some antifreeze, which would have been much worse than wiper fluid.
