He was trapped inside the vehicle, and had burns over 34% of his body, but fortunately he was pulled out of the burning Humvee by a fellow soldier. He was taken to a field hospital and eventually flown to a hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, for treatment and later to a hospital in Texas that specializes in burns treatment.
