V54.3: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus : unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in nontraffic accident
The medical condition described by ICD-10 code V54.3 refers to injuries sustained by an occupant of a pick-up truck or van in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus, during a non-traffic accident. This kind of event signifies that the accident didn't occur in traffic, but might have occurred in a driveway, parking lot, or any other non-traffic location. The nature of the injuries can vary widely depending upon the specific circumstances of the accident. While not explicitly specified by this code, injuries could range from minor abrasions and contusions, to fractures, internal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. The severity of the injury can depend on factors like the speed of the collision, the size of the vehicles involved, the use (or lack) of safety equipment like seat belts or airbags, as well as other situational variables.
