V50.2: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident

The condition summarized by the ICD-10 code V50.2 involves an individual who, while either stationary or in motion but not in traffic, inside a pick-up truck or van, suffered injuries due to a collision with a pedestrian or animal. The individual in this event was not inside the vehicle during the incident but was positioned on the outside. This could happen in various non-traffic situations such as driveways, parking lots, or off-road environments. The injuries could range from minor contusions and sprains to major bone fractures or head trauma, depending on the force of the impact. While the specific symptoms can vary greatly, they are typically related to physical trauma, including pain, swelling or visible deformity at the site of injury. In severe instances, unconsciousness or altered mental state may occur due to the traumatic brain injury.
