The Scouts worked through the night to assist the wounded until help began to arrive after dawn. Martins was struck in the back during the collision and suffered internal injuries. When rescue workers arrived and began carrying the wounded to the city on stretchers, Martins refused, saying that there were many other wounded who needed assistance more than he, and that A Scout walks on his own leg.
