He has a broken jaw, is missing a bunch of teeth, has broken toes and foot, some internal bleeding (this turned out to be a puncture to both the small and large intestine), a bad concussion, and various minor cuts/abrasions - that's what my brother knew at that point, when he texted me, so I suppose that could change. He was supposed to be going into surgery a couple of hours ago, haven't heard anything since. Also haven't heard anything about the people in the other vehicle, am hoping they'll be ok/recover from any injuries they might have.
He remembers nothing of the accident, thankfully, only that they'd been camping and were on their way home.
Fingers crossed, nothing gets worse for anyone involved in the accident. I'm so relieved that this all seems to be stuff he and his girlfriend will recover from.

Glad to hear that it's looking like they'll be okay.
My random thought to contribute is that it's always kinda freaky hearing stories like this, and thinking at any point you can just randomly wake up in the hospital half-dead. Like I can just be sitting on my computer at work and suddenly "Oh, you don't remember you got in to a bad head on accident on the way home that day two days ago, gonna be a long road for you" -- freaky.
