V42.7: Car occupant injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle : person on outside of vehicle injured in traffic accident
The condition referred to by ICD-10 code V42.7 is a specific form of vehicular injury. It occurs when a car occupant is involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, such as a motorcycle or a scooter, and the person on the outside of the vehicle is injured in the ensuing traffic accident. This injury could result from direct physical contact with the other vehicle or its driver, or from a sudden jolt within the car due to the impact. The person in the car could experience a wide range of injuries, depending on the severity of the accident. These may include fractures, internal organ damage, head and spinal injuries, contusions, lacerations, or potentially life-threatening trauma. The immediate symptoms would be directly related to the specific injuries sustained, but often include pain, confusion, or a loss of consciousness.
