V68: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident

The V68 classification in the ICD-10 system refers to the group of conditions caused by an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle getting injured during a noncollision transport accident. These kinds of injuries typically occur when the transport vehicle, such as a truck or bus, overturns, crashes into a stationary object, or experiences a sudden stop or maneuver. The individual inside the vehicle may experience a variety of symptoms based on the severity of the accident and their specific injuries sustained. This can range from minor bruises, fractures, sprains, and lacerations to serious conditions like concussions, internal bleeding, broken bones, and spinal cord injuries. Over time, these physical conditions may worsen if not treated promptly and appropriately, possibly leading to long-term or permanent disability. Trauma from such accidents may also cause psychological distress, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
