Answer
Gruesome.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do for the injured baby; they're much too small to do anything at this point, even if you were a vet and knew how to handle this kind of thing. I'm very sorry.

Keep mama comfortable and taken care of, well fed, and hope she's a good mama for the rest of the babies.. that's really all you can do.
