V65: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle
V65.0: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : driver injured in nontraffic accident
The condition specified under ICD-10 code V65.0 refers to the circumstances where the occupant of a heavy transport vehicle, specifically the driver, gets injured in a nontraffic accident involving a collision with a railway train or other railway vehicle. This is a trauma-related condition that could lead to a variety of physical injuries depending on the impact and severity of the collision. These injuries might include, but are not limited to, broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, soft tissue damage, or internal organ damage. The condition does not specify the exact nature or degree of injury, as this would depend on the specific incident details. The term "nontraffic accident" indicates that this collision occurred in a place not ordinarily meant for public motor vehicle traffic, such as a railway crossing or a sector of a shipping port.
