V58.2: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in noncollision transport accident : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident

The condition identified by the ICD-10 code V58.2 pertains to injuries that an occupant of a pick-up truck or van sustains in a non-collision transport accident. Specifically, it applies to a person who was on the outside of the vehicle during a non-traffic accident. This condition typically occurs when a person falls from, is thrown off, or is somehow dragged by the vehicle, which could be in motion or stationary at the time of the incident. As with any physical injury, symptoms would depend largely on the nature, force, and area of impact. Possible manifestations could range from minor bruises, abrasions, and sprains, to more severe complications like fractures, internal organ damage, concussion, or spinal cord injury. The incident could also result in emotional or psychological stress. Immediate response typically includes emergency care to manage pain, prevent complications, and stabilize the patient's condition, followed by further medical investigations to determine the extent of injuries.
