The medical condition classified under the ICD-10 code V46.2 refers to injuries sustained by a car occupant in a collision with a nonmotor vehicle, specifically a person on the outside of the vehicle during a nontraffic accident. These injuries may occur due to various forms of incidents wherein a vehicle collides with a person, object, or animal not in motion or not part of another running vehicle. Examples include accidents in parking spaces, driveways, or garages. Severity and symptoms can vary widely based on the force of impact and specific nature of the accident, potentially encompassing minor to severe musculoskeletal injuries, head injuries, internal injuries, or cuts and abrasions. The effect on the individual's health will largely depend on the type and location of the sustained injuries.
