<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

I just found out a little bit ago that one of my best friends and his girlfriend got into a terrible car accident. They went through a stop sign and were hit on the passenger side, where he was sitting. She was driving and sustained some serious injuries, shattering her arm. She's gone into surgery once, but has to go in again tomorrow. He is in ICU and was somewhat crushed in the car. I was told he has sustained alot of internal injuries and some organs have ruptured. He also had to go into surgery and had to have bore holes to combat swelling in his brain from some hemorrhaging. My mother, who told me, said this next 24 hours is the most crucial, essentially deciding his fate (my mother is an RN, and if I'm not mistaken she was an ICU nurse at one point). 
Between my sister and myself, who is also extremely good friends with them, it is not good. I have no idea what to do as they are 2 hours away. I tried to console my sister, but found myself just sitting in silence for a while, not even sure what to do. After she left, I immediately bitched out and began drinking, as I know is not a good direction to go.
<bot>: My friend may die tonight and there is nothing I can do, I don't know what to do, and I gave in to the desire to drink heavily in grief. Any advice or words to help would be appreciated.
