I want make sure I am clear on what should be called here.

F3, reaching for an errant throw towards home plate collides with the Batter/Runner legally running in the 3' lane before the BR reaches first base. The ball comes free from F3's glove and the injured BR cannot get up to touch first base before F2 picks up the loose ball and tags the injured BR.

Is the BR out or are there any circumstances here that allow him to gain first base safely?
