V45.1: Car occupant injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : passenger injured in nontraffic accident

The medical condition identified by the ICD-10 code V45.1 refers to injuries sustained by a car passenger during a nontraffic collision with a railway train or vehicle. This incident might happen, for example, at a railway crossing. The exact nature and severity of the injuries can vary widely from patient to patient, depending on factors such as the force of the collision and the safety measures in place at the time of the accident. Injuries may involve various body systems, and could potentially include fractures, internal injuries, head or spinal injuries, or wounds. Symptoms will similarly vary depending on the specific injuries sustained. It's important to remember that even after a minor collision, certain serious injuries, like a concussion or internal bleeding, might initially present subtle symptoms. Therefore, seeking immediate medical evaluation is critical after such collisions to diagnose and manage potential injuries.
