French man take his car to go to his doctor and end up in Croatia

I doubt an 85-year-old could make a direct 20-hour car trip. Unless he is some kind of James Bond. Maybe it wasn't him driving, but an alien who felt like driving—some kind of driving test for aliens? :-D

20 hours of driving translates to more than 25 just with stops for eating and physiological needs.

An elderly person usually cannot hold their urine for more than an hour.

And besides, that travel time calculation is for highways, with many, many toll points.

Without more details, the story makes no sense (well, not for us if we think about the explanation of a dimensional jump).
 
There could still be the possibility that the elderly man has dementia and the original report is incorrect about his cognitive function. My grandmother had dementia and would get lost 10 minutes away from her house and drive for hours and hours not knowing where she was. There are many similar reports like this with dementia cases, but this would still seem to be a pretty extreme instance. Hopefully there are some follow up reports.

I don't think so. Looks to me like Citroen C5 II Break (Tourer).

I think you're right:

According to the bot:
The range of the Citroën C5 II Diesel 2.0 HDi is approximately 700 to 800 km on a full tank, based on average fuel consumption of 5.8 to 6.2 L/100 km and a 70-litre fuel tank.

It’s an obvious observation to make but depending how much fuel he had when he left and the type of vehicle, he would have probably had to refuel the car at least twice.

Yes, this story is extremely strange, and nothing here is clear. Assuming an 80-something man lived there most of his life, I don't know why he would use GPS to reach a town 20 kilometers away. People generally know their area well, but assuming he entered the name into his GPS and intended to enter Airvault, it's hard to assume the navigation system automatically suggested Zagreb. He needed to refuel, use the restroom, and was extremely tired and exhausted after a 20-hour drive, but witnesses said he was simply disoriented and unaware of what had happened. We can assume this man may have senile dementia, but such people tend to wander in circles more or less in the vicinity of their home, for a radius of several or several dozen kilometers. He was completely unaware of the time that had passed, felt no need to use the phone or ask anyone where he was, and so on for 20 hours. It's theoretically possible that this was a 4D-to-3D reality transition or a classic abduction, but I've never heard of the Lizards/Grays abducting someone and then making such a mistake by returning them to a different location 1,500 km away from the original. We don't know what his relatives, friends, or neighbors might say about him, whether he's had any previous memory or consciousness lapses. If it were just senile dementia, it would be an extreme case that should be in the Guinness Book of World Records, but the old man is now safe and sound, so it's safe to joke.
 
The problem is that its physically very tough to do in 20 hours, even for a two, not one, younger people. Let alone man of 87. My friend have a theory - what if he was kidnapped? He picks up a man, or two, they put him somehow to sleep, they drive to their destination and gently left him in front of the hotel to be found. Funny to speculate, if nothing else.

Right, there's obviously more that can be revealed about this story. Bank card transactions showing he bought fuel for the car etc., which would help explain if anything truly strange happened.

There are also cameras basically on every turn nowadays, literaly on every toll post in highways, many if not all tunnels are monitored, every gas station has them, and many public areas in the urban surroundings.

If wanted, this apparent mystery could have already been sorted out "long ago".
FWIW.
 
Something similar once happened to my father who was also in his eighties then.

He lived in Breda (in the South of the Netherlands) and was headed to a nearby village across the border in Belgium but he managed to take a wrong exit somewhere without noticing, and drove along for hours on end all the way up unto Friesland (in the far North). There he inquired for directions to his destination only to then learn he had gone completely lost. The people who told him that offered to bring him back to where he came from, one of them driving his car and the other transporting him in their car - which they then used to get back again.

Needless to say the whole family was very upset about this and he was forbidden to ever drive by himself again. We sold his car and told the garage owner he was not to be allowed to purchase another one ever.
