The condition referenced by ICD-10 code V45.0 pertains to a driver of a car who has suffered an injury due to a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle, with the specificity that this incident occurred in a nontraffic environment. Although the type and severity of injuries vary greatly, they often include fractures, internal injuries, contusions, traumatic brain injuries, and whiplash injuries depending on the circumstances of the accident. Such incidents often happen at railway crossings, during maintenance work, or due to a vehicle malfunction that results in a collision.

Immediate professional medical attention is typically required for these injuries due to their often severe nature.
