V54.0: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus : driver injured in nontraffic accident

The ICD-10 code V54.0 refers to injuries sustained by the driver of a pick-up truck or van involved in a nontraffic collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. This specific code doesn't imply a particular injury, but generally encapsulates the array of possible injuries one could experience in such an accident. These could range from minor cuts and bruises to much more severe injuries such as broken bones, internal bleeding, or head trauma. Nontraffic accidents entail incidents that occur anywhere other than public highways, streets, or roads. This could include private property, parking lots, driveways, or other non-public areas. The heavy transport vehicle or bus involved identifies an additional layer of risk, as such vehicles often weigh more and can lead to more severe damage upon collision.
