V56.6: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle : passenger injured in traffic accident

The medical condition referred to by the ICD-10 code V56.6 pertains to an injury sustained by a passenger in a pick-up truck or van during a collision with a nonmotor vehicle, such as a bicycle or an animal, in a traffic accident. The severity of the injury can range from minor cuts and abrasions to more significant traumas such as fractures, spinal cord injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. The symptoms exhibited by the patient directly depend on the nature and severity of the injury, which can include anything from localized pain and swelling to more generalized symptoms such as confusion, dizziness, or loss of consciousness following a head injury. The progression of the condition is deterministic, meaning it is directly related to the management and treatment of the injury following the accident.
