V63.0: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van : driver injured in nontraffic accident
The diagnostic description refers to an injury sustained by the driver of a heavy transport vehicle, such as a bus or lorry, in a non-traffic accident involving a collision with a car, pick-up truck, or van. These accidents usually occur in parking lots, driveways, or other areas not considered part of public roads. Non-traffic accidents also encompass collisions with stationary objects or rollovers not occurring in traffic. The severity of the injury can vary greatly, ranging from minor abrasions or cuts to serious injuries such as fractures, internal damage, or potential traumatic brain injury. The details of the injuries and the affected systems in the body are highly dependent on the specifics of the accident, such as the speed at the moment of impact, the position of the driver, and the use of safety equipment.
