A crushed or severly bruised larynx is a critical injury, although it is not 100% lethal. The problem is the collapse of the process, and/or the subsequent swelling shutting down the airway causing asphyxia. Note that a victim of this sort of injury who can breathe immediately after the injury, may have more trouble later, as swelling increases. If you suspect a crushed larynx, transport. That way, if things go south, you'll be in a place equipped for surgical intervention.
