V10-V19: Pedal cyclist injured in transport accident
V15: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle
Pedal cyclist injuries in collisions with railway trains or vehicles are a group of injuries that occur due to the impact between a bicycle and a moving train or railway vehicle. Accidents of this nature can lead to a wide range of injuries from minor to severe, which may include abrasions, fractures, head injuries like concussions, internal injuries, and traumatic injuries. These injuries occur due to the forceful nature of train collisions, often resulting from the high speed, size, and weight of trains compared to the lightweight and unprotected nature of pedal cyclists. Symptoms often vary based on the severity of the injury and may include pain, swelling, bruising, or lack of consciousness in more severe cases. The progression of injury often depends on the severity of the initial trauma and access to immediate medical intervention.
