V18.9: Pedal cyclist injured in noncollision transport accident : unspecified pedal cyclist injured in traffic accident

The diagnosis under discussion refers to an unspecified pedal cyclist who has been injured in a traffic accident which did not involve a collision. This noncollision transport accident indicates that the cyclist had been injured without physically coming into contact with another vehicle or object. The injuries incurred in this situation can vary greatly - from minor abrasions or lacerations to more serious problems like bone fractures, internal injuries or traumatic brain injuries, depending on factors such as the speed at which the cyclist was traveling, the type of surface he or she landed on, and whether protective gear (like helmets) was worn. This condition presents itself immediately after the accident, with symptoms based on the nature and extent of the injuries sustained.
