V61.2: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedal cycle : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident

The condition described by V61.2 in the ICD-10 refers to an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle (such as a truck or bus) during a collision with a pedal cycle (e.g., bicycle). This specific code emphasizes that the accident occurred while the person was outside the vehicle and in a nontraffic environment, suggesting a scenario that might take place in places such as a parking lot, work environment, or a residential setting. The person could have suffered a range of injuries depending on various factors like the speed of the collision and the part of the body impacted. Common symptoms after such an incident can include body aches, bruises, cuts or scratches, and in more severe cases, fractures, internal injuries or concussions. Timely medical attention is important to assess and manage the injuries appropriately.
