V05.0: Pedestrian injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : nontraffic accident
The condition classified under 'Pedestrian injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : nontraffic accident' pertains to an individual who has sustained injuries due to a non-traffic accident with a railway vehicle such as a train, in their capacity as a pedestrian. This scenario is indicative of the person being struck or colliding with a vehicle on railway tracks or in a railway yard, and not the common roadway. It acknowledges a specific type of accident distinct from those encountered on roads, highways, or pedestrian-specific areas. The injuries resulting from such accidents can wildly vary, ranging from mild cuts or bruises to serious fractures, internal injuries, or even fatalities. The impact of these injuries can be seen on various bodily systems depending on areas targeted during the collision, such as skeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, or respiratory systems. It's important to note this code merely identifies the nature and possible cause of injury and not the specific type, severity, or prognosis of the injury.
