V18.5: Pedal cyclist injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in traffic accident
The term "Pedal cyclist injured in noncollision transport accident: passenger injured in traffic accident" refers to injuries sustained by a passenger on a bicycle involved in a non-collision transport accident. This includes situations where the bicycle remains upright and the passenger was injured due to incidents such as sudden braking, swerving, or falling off the bicycle. In traffic, these accidents can be attributed to diverse factors like poor road conditions, sudden changes in direction, machinery failure, or the passenger's ordeal. Common injuries may include but are not limited to fractures, abrasion injuries, sprains, and strains. The progression of the injury largely depends on the severity and location of the injury. Any system of the body could potentially be affected depending on the nature and extent of the accident.
