‎Missing Man Found After Gorilla Drags Him Toward Hospital. In a jungle town, a missing man was found alive after a car crash, thanks to a gorilla that became his unlikely rescuer. CCTV cameras set up to study wildlife captured the astonishing moment: a gorilla ripped open a wrecked van, pulled the unconscious driver out, and began dragging him down the road leading to the nearest hospital.
‎

‎ At first, locals thought the footage was fake — a hoax designed to attract attention to the remote town of Mbenga, located on the edge of the Congo Basin. But when emergency responders arrived and confirmed the man’s identity, the story took an unbelievable turn.
‎
‎The driver, identified as 32-year-old Jean Kalema, had been missing for nearly two days after his delivery van veered off a muddy road during a heavy storm. His vehicle had been swallowed by thick vegetation, invisible from the highway. What no one expected was that a wild gorilla — believed to be part of a nearby conservation group’s monitored troop — would find him first.
‎
‎According to officials, the gorilla appeared on camera at dawn, approaching the mangled van with cautious curiosity. Moments later, it tore off the door with surprising ease, dragged the unconscious man out, and began pulling him toward the town — following, almost perfectly, the path that led to the local clinic.
‎
‎Witnesses say the animal stopped several times, sitting beside Kalema as though checking if he was still breathing. By the time a search team intercepted them just two kilometers from the hospital, the gorilla had vanished silently back into the forest.
‎
‎ Doctors later revealed that if Kalema had remained trapped for just a few more hours, dehydration and internal bleeding could have been fatal.
‎
‎Now, both scientists and locals are calling the gorilla a miracle. “It’s as if he knew what he was doing,” said Dr. Nseka, the clinic’s lead physician. “We’ve studied gorillas for years, but we’ve never seen anything like this — an act of compassion that defies logic.”
‎
‎Authorities are currently reviewing the full footage to learn more about the gorilla’s identity, though many villagers have already given it a name: “Muboko” — The Healer of the Forest.
