V53.2: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
The medical condition referred to in the ICD-10 code V53.2 pertains to injuries suffered by an individual who was positioned outside of a pick-up truck or van during the event of a nontraffic-related collision with another vehicle, such as a car, another pick-up truck, or van. This typically involves the infliction of physical trauma caused by the impact of the accident. The presentation of injuries widely varies depending on several factors, including the force and angle of the collision, the point of impact on the person's body, and the specifics of the accident scenario. This could range from minor bruises and abrasions to severe damage to body tissues, musculoskeletal injuries, or even life-threatening internal injuries. In some cases, head injuries, spinal injuries, or fractures could also occur. The progression of the person's condition is largely contingent on the severity and nature of the injuries sustained.
