V67.3: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : unspecified occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in nontraffic accident

The ICD-10 code V67.3 refers to a specific injury situation, where an unspecified occupant of a heavy transport vehicle has been injured in a nontraffic accident due to a collision with a fixed or stationary object. This could apply to an array of scenarios, but common ones typically involve the vehicle hitting something like a tree, post, or wall. Despite being a nontraffic accident, these incidents are often significant due to the size and weight of heavy transport vehicles and can come with a range of injuries. The nature and severity of the injuries can vary widely, depending on factors such as the speed of impact, the location of impact on the vehicle, and whether the occupant was using safety equipment such as seatbelts. These injuries may involve various body systems and could include anything from minor cuts and bruises to significant trauma such as fractures, internal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries.
