V54: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus
V54.2: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
This condition involves an injury sustained by an occupant of a pick-up truck or van during a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus, whilst the injured party was outside of their vehicle during a nontraffic accident. This typically suggests an incident that took place, not on public roads, but perhaps in spaces like parking lots, private roads, or similar off-road locations. The nature of the injury can vary greatly, depending on factors like the speed and angle of impact, what part of the body was hit, and the health status of the individual at the time of occurrence. It could range from minor scrapes and bruises to more serious conditions like fractures, internal injuries, or traumatic head injuries. The presentation of injuries, therefore, could be quite diverse, with symptoms such as pain, swelling, bleeding, or other physical deformations. The progression of the condition can also differ based on the severity and type of the injury, as well as the individual's response to treatment and rehabilitation.
