<p>Henry Morello began to lose hope after being stranded in his car in the Arizona desert for five long days in which the 84-year-old drank windscreen wiper fluid, used car mats to stay warm and read a car manual from cover to cover to pass the time.</p>
<p>Then, he heard a knock on a window from a hiker, and suddenly his long, painful ordeal was over.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just kissed him,&#8221; Mr Morello said of the hiker. &#8220;He looked like an angel to me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Morello described his ordeal at a hospital news conference as he recalled making a wrong turn while driving home on February 7 from a restaurant and ending up stuck in the desert. His car and mobile phone battery soon went dead as rescuers looked for him.</p>
<p>Mr Morello said he became stranded when &#8211; realizing he made a wrong turn &#8211; made a U-turn and ended up in a ditch.</p>
<p>He tried to crawl out of the car but did not get too far and returned. He ripped a chrome piece from his car and put it on the roof, hoping someone would see the reflection.</p>
<p>Overnight temperatures during the week he was missing were between 4C to 7C, the National Weather Service said.</p>
<p>The hikers who found him on Saturday morning were not identified at the news conference, but Jim Sheehan, a search and rescue leader, said they knew of the missing man.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nobody ever gave up&#8221; in the search, said Mr Sheehan, who was on a search plane when he got a call saying Mr Morello had been found.</p>
<p>Morello is a patient at John C. Lincoln Hospital in Phoenix, where doctors said he arrived in good condition considering what he had been through. A diabetic, Mr Morello, will stay in the hospital for a few days while doctors treat him for kidney damage. It was not immediately clear if drinking the windscreen wiper fluid had done him any harm.</p>
