OAP survives desert for five days

An 84-year-old motorist drank windscreen washer to stay alive when he got lost in the Arizona desert.

Henry Morello took a wrong turn driving home and ended up stranded in a ditch for five days after his car battery and mobile phone died.

He survived by using car mats to stay warm at night and drinking the windscreen fluid – and even read the car manual cover to cover to pass the time.

Eventually he was found by a passing walker, whom he kissed with relief.
After his ordeal he said of his hero: "He looked like an angel to me."
