V16.2: Pedal cyclist injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle : unspecified pedal cyclist injured in nontraffic accident
Pedal cyclist injured in a collision with another nonmotor vehicle refers to an incident where a cyclist is injured due to an accident with another vehicle that isn't motorized, under nontraffic conditions. The term 'nonmotor vehicle' typically includes bicycles, scooters, skateboards, or other modes of transport that don't employ an engine. This type of accident could be the result of various factors such as improper navigation, unfamiliarity with cycling techniques, or a mishap on the path of travel. Similarly, 'nontraffic accident' indicates that the incident didn't occur on public roadways, but rather in a private or off-road area. The injuries from such an accident can range from mild cuts or scrapes to more severe ones involving broken bones or head trauma. The severity depends on the specifics of the collision, such as the speed and the protective gear worn by the cyclist.
