V13.5: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van : passenger injured in traffic accident

The condition designated by the ICD-10 code V13.5 refers to an injury sustained by a pedal cyclist in a traffic accident, where the collision was with a car, pickup truck, or van, resulting in passenger injury. The nature of injuries can be variable, depending on the specifics of the accident, but commonly include a range of musculoskeletal injuries or fractures, abrasions, head injuries including traumatic brain injuries, or spinal cord injuries. Symptoms vary based on the injury site and severity but could involve pain, difficulty in movement, visible wounds, confusion, or loss of consciousness. This condition does not involve disease progression or transmission as it is the result of a one-time traumatic event, rather than a pathological process. The injury affects those systems of the body directly impacted by the collision.
