Yes, seriously injured. The photo is a bit unclear but looking at the general body shape and the size and shape of the front legs (of what legs are left), it looks like a Crab Spider in the family Thomisidae.

I feel it’s Philodromus marxi
( Metallic Crab Spider)

I have some pictures and I guess it’s a bit clear then this one. How should I add them?

Hi, you can add a link to them by replying to my message. There isn’t a way to add a photo directly to the post. Another option is to put them in new posts, mention it is the same spider. Making multiple photos into a collage, such as in Google Photos, allows you to post multiple photos as one photo too.
