It was suggested in another thread that a specific thread for Jules would be useful, so any updates aren't lost and discussions can still be had.

So here it is. :)

The following link contains a video of the crash, which some might find upsetting.

It has been confirmed he has this type of injury

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_axonal_injury

According to the web resource brainandspinalcord.org, a diffuse axonal injury is 'one of the most common traumatic brain injuries' and that 'instead of occurring in a specific area', the injury 'occurs over a more widespread area'.

The website states that 'diffuse axonal injury isn’t the result of a blow to the head. Instead, it results from the brain moving back and forth in the skull as a result of acceleration or deceleration.

However, it adds that 'in addition to being one of the most common types of brain injuries, it’s also one of the most devastating'.
