This is very happy news, and hopefully it is correct that the injuries were very minor. That said, people who have just experienced traumatic injuries are capable of surprising exertion for a brief period, then may quickly deteriorate to their actual injured state. If you have occasion to care for a person who has been in a physically traumatic event, get them to safety with great care and as little motion as possible, then keep them warm and still until qualified medics arrive. Even if they tell you they are okay, and can walk, they may not be as well as they want to think that they are.
