As per my clinical experience, seems case of severe crush injury following road traffic accident causing bone damage to lower limbs. The lower limb injuries are notorious to cause various ill effects over the systems of the body and many are devastating complications.
One of the most dangerous is fat embolism, in which the tiny clots of fat get embedded into pulmonary circulation via entering the marrow of broken bones. The Pulmonary embolism is first and foremost possibility to be ruled out in case of your son.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
