Sounds to me like either journalistic or American sensationalism - yet again.

One of the first statements -
He needed help fast, and medics said only one hospital could take care of his injuries, and it’s in Texas.
Complete and utter horse manure!!

The whole report is littered with phrases designed to 'big up' (in todays yoof speak) the Americans at the expense of others.

A great feel good story to sell to a gullible (American) public, but obviously it was a slow news day.
