V55.2: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident

The medical condition corresponding to the ICD-10 V55.2 code refers to injuries sustained by an occupant of a pick-up truck or van involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle. To be more specific, this code is used when the person injured was on the outside of the vehicle during a nontraffic accident. Nontraffic accidents are those that occur anywhere other than a public highway, such as parking lots or private roads. Injuries can range in severity, depending on the nature of the collision, and can affect any system of the body. They might include, but are not limited to, fractures, internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries or lacerations. Outcomes can vary and are influenced by numerous factors, including the type, severity, and location of the injury, as well as the individual’s overall health condition prior to the accident.
