V50: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal
V50.3: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in nontraffic accident
The condition referred to by this ICD-10 code involves an occupant of a pick-up truck or van who experiences injury due to a collision with a pedestrian or an animal. The collision occurs in a non-traffic scenario, meaning it takes place in an area that isn't typically designated for vehicle traffic. This could involve a variety of incidents, such as a vehicle hitting a pedestrian in a parking lot or a driveway, or colliding with an animal on private property. The injury sustained by the occupant of the vehicle can vary, ranging from minor bruises or sprains to more serious injuries like fractures, head trauma, or internal damage, depending on factors such as the speed of the vehicle at the time of the accident and the occupant's location in the vehicle. The term 'unspecified occupant' indicates that the exact position of the injured person within the vehicle, be it the driver or a passenger, is not determined.
