V01: Pedestrian injured in collision with pedal cycle

V01.9: Pedestrian injured in collision with pedal cycle : unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident

The condition referred to by the ICD-10 code V01.9 describes an incident in which a pedestrian has been injured as a result of a collision with a pedal cycle. This classification does not specify whether the accident occurred in a traffic or non-traffic environment. Such accidents typically result in physical injuries which may range from minor such as bruises and abrasions, to more severe including fractures or head injuries. Injury extent is usually defined by several factors including the speed of the cyclist, the angle of collision, and the protective gear, if any, used by the pedestrian at the time of the accident. Depending on the grading of the injuries, patients may present varying symptoms such as pain, swelling, bleeding or loss of consciousness.
