The driver was uninjured, so you are correct, the reason for the injuries was because they were outside when the IED went off.
I am praying for both of them.

Updated: Sun. Jan. 29 2006 7:18 PM ETABC News anchor Bob Woodruff and Canadian cameraman Doug Vogt are both in stable condition Sunday following surgery for injuries suffered in an explosion while reporting in Iraq.
Woodruff and Vogt were embedded with the 4th Infantry Division and travelling with U.S. and Iraqi troops when an improvised explosive device detonated near Taji, which is about 20 kilometres north of Baghdad.
"They were with an Iraqi army unit at the time the attack occurred and are at a U.S. military medical facility now," U.S. military spokesman Lt.-Col. Barry Johnson said.
Both suffered head injuries and were evacuated to a U.S. military hospital for surgery, ABC News President David Westin said. They were wearing body armor and helmets, the network said.
Vogt was reportedly awake and lucid after undergoing surgery to remove a piece of shrapnel that had penetrated his skull. He will undergo more surgery in a day or two to remove more shrapnel from his shoulder...
