V66.4: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle : person injured while boarding or alighting
The medical condition referred to as "Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle: person injured while boarding or alighting" describes a specific accident scenario in which an individual is injured as they get on or off a heavy transport vehicle, such as a bus or truck, which has collided with a nonmotor vehicle. This nonmotor vehicle can include bikes, horse-drawn carts, or any device not powered by an engine. This condition can manifest in various forms of physical trauma, including bone fractures, cuts, whiplash, or even more serious injuries depending upon the severity of the accident. Factors like the speed of the collision, the size of the vehicles involved, and the physical condition of the individual can all influence the type and severity of injuries sustained. It is important to note that this classification is largely concerned with the circumstances around the injury, rather than the injury itself.
