V57.0: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : driver injured in nontraffic accident

The ICD-10 code V57.0 refers specifically to a singular condition involving the driver of a pick-up truck or van sustaining injuries in a nontraffic accident due to collision with a fixed or stationary object. This situation indicates a non-traffic accident, meaning the incident did not occur on a public road. A fixed or stationary object can include various things such as a parked vehicle, tree, building, power pole, or other objects not in motion. The severity and type of injury can vary considerably based on factors such as speed at the time of the accident, the angle of collision, whether the occupant was wearing a seat belt, and the type of object collided with. Common injuries might include cuts, bruises, fractures, head injuries, or possibly internal injuries. Immediate medical attention is typically necessary to assess and treat any injury resulting from such an accident.
