V60.1: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : passenger injured in nontraffic accident

The condition referred to by ICD-10 code V60.1 involves a passenger who has been injured during a nontraffic accident, specifically a collision between a heavy transport vehicle and a pedestrian or animal. The state of being an "occupant of a heavy transport vehicle" pertains to individuals who are inside a vehicle specifically designed to carry heavy loads. The "injured in collision with pedestrian or animal" refers to the individual experiencing physical harm or trauma as a consequence of an unexpected event where the heavy transport vehicle comes into contact with either a pedestrian, which means an individual who is travelling on foot, or an animal. The term "nontraffic accident" is used to delineate circumstances where the incident did not occur on public roadways. Injuries can vary greatly based on the specifics of the accident, including speed at the time of impact, size of the animal or pedestrian involved, and safety measures employed by the heavy transport vehicle.
