"Update: Second degree burns over 69% of his body. Staying overnight at hospital."
If that's correct, I would call it a bit more serious than the orignally reported minor injuries. Very painful at the very least, if not permanently disfiguring or life threatening - although without immediate treatment a person could certainly die from shock from those kind of burns.
I wondered why they took him so far (University of California-Davis Medical Center in Sacramento)
Must be the trauma burn center for No California.
They did say most of the burns were to his lower extremities. May make it hard to push those pedals at NH nest week I would think.
