V62.4: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle : person injured while boarding or alighting
The ICD-10 code V62.4 refers to a specific incident or accident where an individual occupying a heavy transport vehicle, such as a truck or bus, gets injured in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, such as a motorcycle or scooter. This code particularly relates to injuries sustained while the person was either getting on or off the heavy transport vehicle. As such, the injuries can vary widely from minor cuts, bruises, or fractures to serious trauma impacting critical systems such as the nervous system, circulatory system, or skeletal system. The nature and severity of injuries highly depend on factors such as the speed of impact, angle of collision, and the use of safety measures like seat belts or helmets. The health outcomes can range from simple outpatient care to extended hospitalization, and in severe cases, can even be life-threatening.
