V58.6: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in traffic accident

The ICD-10 code V58.6 refers to an injury sustained by a passenger in a non-collision transport accident while inside a pick-up truck or van. This injury occurs when a moving vehicle suddenly stops or slows down, but does not directly collide with another object. The injuries may vary significantly, ranging from minor bruises and sprains to more serious injuries such as fractures, dislocations, or internal damage. The severity of the injury primarily depends on factors such as speed of the vehicle, the passenger's position in the vehicle, and whether or not they were using a seatbelt. Injuries of this nature can affect any system of the body, including the skeletal, nervous, muscular, and circulatory systems. Symptoms presented will directly correlate with the area and severity of the injury.
