V15.5: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : passenger injured in traffic accident
Pedal cyclist injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle is an injury diagnosis specifically referring to a cycling accident involving a clash with a railway train or railway vehicle. The collision typically involves a forceful impact which may lead to various degrees of physical injuries. Depending upon the severity of the collision, the cyclist can sustain minor injuries like cuts and bruises, sprains, and fractures or severe injuries like concussive impacts, internal bleeding, or organ damage. Other potential injuries may involve systems such as the neurological (brain injuries), musculoskeletal (bone fractures and dislocation), integumentary (skin wounds and abrasion), or vascular system (hemorrhage). Meanwhile, the term "passenger injured in traffic accident" indicates that the cyclist was a passenger, perhaps on a cycle rickshaw or a tandem bicycle, at the time of the accident. This categorization generally does not impact the nature of the injuries sustained.
