V66.0: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle : driver injured in nontraffic accident

The condition described by the ICD-10 code V66.0 refers to an injury sustained by the driver of a heavy transport vehicle, such as a semi-truck or a bus, when involved in a collision with another nonmotor vehicle. The notable point is that the accident did not occur in regular traffic. The nonmotor vehicle can be a bicycle, a horse-driven cart, or even a pedestrian. Injuries may vary extensively from minor bruises, fractures, to severe head injuries or internal damages depending on the nature and intensity of the collision. It's important to note that the psychological impact can also be profound, potentially resulting in post-traumatic stress disorder or other mental health issues. The severity of the condition is primarily determined by the extent and the nature of the physical injuries sustained.
