Among his injuries were nine broken vertebrae, a ruptured spleen, broken hand and a collapsed lung. [...] "We're just lucky we're bringing our kid home [to North Dakota] in a car in the front seat instead of in a box."

... I'm not sure that's the best way to transport someone who was just diagnosed with nine broken vertebrae.

I assume he was in whatever local hospital for a while until safe to move.

They’re doing a road trip, I’m concerned

I think they meant that they will drive him home in the front seat. The article seems to be written within the same week as the accident, I can’t imagine he’s been released from the hospital yet.

I thought it was odd, too - but from the article it seems like he has.

He was flown to hospital with serious injuries but has since been discharged.

I was thinking there must be younger siblings in the back, so he had to travel in front. But now I realize both parents were there, so that means one of the parents is in the back seat...

Maybe they had him in the front seat because it reclines?

Wyatt's father, Brian Kauffman, who was home in North Dakota at the time of the accident.
