Does this comment even make any sense?

From this article where a car fell on a teen.

”....Ray suffered broken ribs and a bruised kidney, said Dr. Richard Miller of the Vanderbilt Trauma Center.

“He had probably crushed his kidney,” Miller said. “And so his kidney was torn and bruised.”

What does he mean “probably” crushed his kidney? And when something is crushed, isn’t it normally torn and bruised?
