Was you Mum a pedestrian or in another car?
Has your son ever lost a pet or something else very close to him? This is a tough, tough situation and it is hard to know what to do given the individual differences in kids and situations. Some kids, especially that young, can get very upset by the site of a loved one attached to all that medical equipment. Others handle it just fine. The clues which you give off, both verbal and non-verbal, can make a big difference in which way he goes.
Do you have a mutually trusted friend or clergyman who might be able to explain things better than you can? Maybe your Dad, if he's up to it? These are all things which you need to take into consideration. Good luck and prayers up!
