V60.9: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : unspecified occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in traffic accident

The ICD-10 code V60.9 describes an event where a person located inside a heavy transport vehicle like a truck or semi-trailer is injured due to a traffic accident involving a pedestrian or animal. The term "unspecified occupant" means the individual's exact location or role within the vehicle, such as driver or passenger, isn't documented. This type of accident occurs when there is a collision between the heavy vehicle and a pedestrian or an animal. Injuries in such events may vary widely, from minor cuts and bruises to severe traumatic injuries. Human factors, such as the driver’s reaction time, distraction, or errors, as well as environmental aspects like road conditions or weather, may contribute to the occurrence of this event. It doesn't denote a medical condition; instead, it helps in identifying the situational context of the injuries obtained.
