V10-V19: Pedal cyclist injured in transport accident
V14: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus
Pedal cyclist injuries resulting from a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus are categorized as traumatic incidences that occur when a cyclist is hit by a large vehicle on the road. This scenario often results in significant bodily harm due to the stark size and weight difference between a bicycle and a heavy transport vehicle or bus. The common injuries observed in such cases might involve fractures, skin abrasions and contusions, internal injuries, dislocations, and even traumatic brain injury. These injuries might affect various systems of the body, predominantly the musculoskeletal system, the skin, and internal organs. The onset of symptoms is immediate, as the injury occurs due to a sudden impact or collision. The seriousness of these injuries tends to vary widely, depending upon the velocity of the impact, the victim's physical condition, the protective gear used, and other incident-specific details.
