V65.6: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle : passenger injured in traffic accident
The condition described as an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle being injured in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle refers to physical harm resulting from such an incident. This typically occurs during traffic accidents when a heavy-duty vehicle, such as a truck or bus, collides with a train or railway vehicle. Injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to severe bodily injuries, possibly leading to significant dysfunction or disability. The injuries sustained can potentially affect various aspects of the body, including but not limited to the skeletal structure, musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and internal organs. The severity and nature of these injuries often depend on the intensity of the collision, the speed at which both vehicles were moving, and the use or lack of use of safety measures like seatbelts.
