V60.0: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : driver injured in nontraffic accident
Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal: driver injured in nontraffic incident is a specfic injury diagnosis given when the driver of a large vehicle such as a truck or bus gets hurt as a result of an accident not involving traffic. This often occurs when the vehicle collides with a pedestrian or an animal. Since this condition is an injury rather than a disease, it doesn't have symptoms in the traditional sense. However, the impact may potentially result in a range of injuries from bruises and fractures to more severe internal injuries. The specific characteristics and severity of the injury depend on factors like the speed of the vehicle, the size of the pedestrian or animal, the driver's use of safety equipment, and the exact circumstances of the crash.
