[Peeta is trapped, pinned to the inside of the car by a broken and mangled seat, warped metal digging into his skin. No one is in this car now, so his cries for help aren't heard. He smells smoke, and sees flames at the corner of the car, licking up the walls.
One of his arms is pinned and broken, and the other tries desperately to push himself free. Unsuccessful in doing anything but causing more pain, he reaches up through the window in a last-ditch attempt to be seen by someone outside.
His hand is grabbed and the angle must be perfect, because he's able to be pulled up and out, but in the process his arm is further mangled by the metal that jabs into it, causing him to scream. It feels like it's being ripped off.
Once outside of the car, he pants and waits to be unblinded from the pain, at which point he sees the brown-haired man that presumably just saved him. He breathes the words weakly:]
the crash

Good question.
