The ICD-10 code V65.2 refers to injuries sustained by an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle due to a collision with a railway train or vehicle, specifically when the person is on the outside of the vehicle and the accident occurs in a non-traffic area. The type and severity of the injury can vary widely, depending on the specifics of the accident. Injuries can range from minor scrapes or bruises to serious injuries such as fractures, internal injuries, or head trauma. The injured person may experience pain, swelling, loss of mobility, or other symptoms based on the location and severity of the injury. This injury event tends to occur in industrial or remote settings, where heavy transport vehicles and railway systems interact. The trauma may involve various body systems, including musculoskeletal, circulatory, and central nervous systems among others. The immediate impact can be acute, with potential for chronic or lasting effects depending on the injuries sustained.
