Hmmm, sounds as though initial reports were a little optimistic; chest injuries with a suspected fractured pelvis. Hope he recovers ok.
As to what happened, filtering out the breathless "I fought I wuz gunna die..." commentary, sounds as though something went wrong shortly after takeoff and he decked it to the west of the highway.
