V55.1: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
The V55.1 ICD-10 classification refers to a specific type of transportation-related injury. More specifically, it is used when a passenger occupying a pick-up truck or van is injured due to a collision with a railway train or another railway vehicle in a non-traffic accident. In such cases, the injuries could vary from minor bruises or cuts to more severe trauma, such as fractures, internal injuries, or even head or spinal injuries, depending on the intensity and impact of the collision. Each accident is unique, with different contributing factors and resultant injuries. Such incidents could potentially lead to long-term physical damage, psychological trauma, or persistent functional impairments. This category does not delve into the nature or severity of injuries, which would be classified under additional codes.
