While in a remote area of Ecuador, Morgan\u2019s unit was involved in an altercation with drug traffickers and his driver lost control of their SUV, causing it to launch off the road and into a steep ravine. Morgan was ejected from the vehicle and suffered a severely crushed spine.<\/p>\n<p>His website reads, \u201cAs he lay left for dead drowning with his face submerged in swampy water, a miracle occurred. An American missionary working on radio towers in the area came upon the scene quite by chance and saved Jason\u2019s life. He proceeded to extract him from the mud and water and was able to coordinate the difficult evacuation of the victims by using his shortwave radio which was the only available working communication in the remote area.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48660\" src=\"https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-678x1024.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-678x1024.jpg 678w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-1018x1536.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-1357x2048.jpg 1357w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-370x558.jpg 370w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-570x860.jpg 570w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-770x1162.jpg 770w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-1170x1766.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope-384x580.jpg 384w, https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/A-Dog-Called-Hope.jpg 1400w\" alt=\"A Dog Called Hope\" width=\"678\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption>A Dog Called Hope<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Morgan awoke from a coma two months later with no memories of the incident.
