Motorola Droid Phone Explosion. Real or Made Up??

First off the clip states he was rushed to the hospital which is false.  He actually drove to his wife's place of employment, a school where she teaches prior to going to the hospital.  If I was bleeding I would be driving to a clinic or hospital first.  Second point is Motorola checked phone out and it was stick functional and battery was not damaged.  The case where cell phones have exploded are all from battery explosions.  My gut tells me this is bullsh*t.  We shall see.  Appears he was talking on the phone and accidentally ran in to something such as a street sign which would be about ear level and his phone and side of face were damaged.  Just a guess!
