When he did not show up at the hospital and did not attend the meeting, his family and neighbors reported him because they speculated that he was missing due to the accident.
Police then asked the military authorities for cooperation to track the location of his mobile phone.
Surprisingly, the military caught his cell phone signal at a hotel in Croatia.
It has been confirmed that he drove 1,600 kilometers in 20 hours through Italy.
The old man "I don't understand what happened"This happened because of the GPS problem," he explained.

The family plans to take the elderly to the hospital for examination with confidence.
