V15: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle
V15.1: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
The condition described by this code refers to an injury sustained by a pedal cyclist as a result of a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle in a nontraffic accident, where the individual was a passenger. This typically involves an unexpected event where a cyclist comes into direct contact with a moving railway train or vehicle outside of traffic situations, such as on train tracks, at railway stations, or within other rail-specific environments. Injuries can range from minor cuts and abrasions to more serious harm such as fractures, concussions, or internal injuries. The affected areas can include any part of the body, though the extremities, head, and torso are often most susceptible. Such injuries can result in varying degrees of pain, physical impairment, and need for medical attention depending on the specific nature and severity of the injury involved.
