V67: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object
V67.0: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : driver injured in nontraffic accident
The condition represented by this specific ICD-10 code - V67.0 refers to injuries sustained by a driver of a heavy transport vehicle during a collision with a fixed or stationary object during a non-traffic accident. These types of accidents occur when the vehicle is not on a public road, for instance in parking lots, loading docks, or construction sites. Since it's a heavy transport vehicle, the injuries might be relatively severe due to the mass and speed of the vehicle. Common injuries could include head trauma, bone fractures, soft tissue damage, or internal injuries. This condition generally presents immediately after the incident has occurred and is typically examined and diagnosed in an emergency care setting. The severity and type of injury can depend on a lot of factors, including the speed of the collision, the nature of the stationary object, seat belt use, and whether any safety features in the vehicle were in use at the time of the accident.
