Probably waiting for the ambulance/paramedics with a back board, or for hand/hydraulic tools to extract him.
Absent fire or the immediate threat of one, removing the injured from the vehicles is supposed to be a slow and careful process.

Couldn't bring myself to post the photo from the Chiang Rai Times article, even though the trapped man isn't dead.
