V65.1: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : passenger injured in nontraffic accident
The condition described by ICD-10 code V65.1 pertains to injuries sustained by an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle, such as a truck or bus, in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle. This specifically refers to incidents outside of normal traffic scenarios. The type and severity of injury in such events can vary widely, depending on factors like the speed and force of the collision. Injuries might range from minor cuts and bruises to severe trauma, involving fractures, internal injuries, or damage to the head and spinal cord. It's also important to note that psychological trauma may accompany such accidents due to their often sudden and severe nature. This condition doesn't indicate disease progression as it primarily relates to physical trauma caused by a specific incident.
