V60-V69: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in transport accident
V66: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle
The conditions falling under the category of "Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle" refer to a series of injuries that can occur in the event of a crash where the victim is inside a heavy vehicle (such as a truck or bus) that collides with a non-motorized entity (for example, a bicycle, pedestrian, or animal). The nature and severity of these conditions vary widely. They may range from minor abrasions, cuts or fractures to severe and complex injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, or even fatal internal damages. It's worth noting that the affected system in the body depends largely on the force and direction of the impact, the presence of safety equipment like seatbelts and airbags, and the individual's position within the vehicle at the time of collision. These injuries are not transmitted but occur instantly upon the incident. The progression of symptoms may and generally do depend on the promptness and effectiveness of medical attention received post-incident.
