Zachary Demoss , 24 , was badly injured in the crash but survived by drinking creek water until he was found, authorities say.

Demoss had been riding his 2000 Kawasaki Vulcan motorcycle along Highway 12 with two other people.

After the other travelers saw his motorcycle parked on the side of the highway, they stopped at the next turnout a few miles down the road to wait for him.

They searched until 4 a.m. but found no sign of Demoss .

"It was surreal that we found him," family friend Greg Common said.
