    This article is wild. Sounds like they discharged him after a day, and the parents say they’re glad they’re taking him home in the front seat instead of in a box.

    List of injuries:

    9 broken vertebrae

    Collapsed lung

    Ruptured spleen

    Broken hand

    That kid ain’t seeing the front seat anytime soon, partially because of healing, and partially because that family won’t be affording seats of any kind in this lifetime

      It’s insane that kid walked away without any head injuries.

      But those don’t sound like unrecoverable injuries. It will cost a fortune, of course, but unless there’s some complications those likely won’t be lifelong issues. He’s incredibly lucky.

        Broken vertebrae? Sounds like a lifetime of back pain.
