V60.2: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
The specific condition detailed by this coding refers to an injury sustained by a person who is not in the vehicle, but associated with it, specifically a heavy transport vehicle, in a nontraffic accident involving either a pedestrian or an animal. It doesn't include incidents occurring on public roads or highways, but rather situations such as a heavy transport vehicle hitting someone or an animal in a car park, private driveway, agricultural field, or similar non-traffic environments. This particular coding refers only to those injuries sustained by persons found outside the vehicle at the time of the accident. The exact nature of the injury would be dependent on numerous factors such as the speed of the vehicle at the time of the collision, the size of the animal or the accident's specifics with the pedestrian.
