V68.0: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident : driver injured in nontraffic accident

Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in a noncollision transport accident, specifically the driver injured in a nontraffic accident, refers to a specific type of transportation incident that results in injury to the driver of a heavy vehicle. The accident is non-collision, meaning that the injury occurred without the vehicle hitting another vehicle or object. Furthermore, it is classified as a non-traffic accident which indicates that the incident did not occur on a public road or within normal traffic flow. This could include accidents that happen in a parking lot, on private property, or during off-road operation of the vehicle. The precise nature and severity of injuries can vary widely based on factors such as speed at the time of accident, the safety features within the vehicle, and the driver's use of safeguards like seat belts. Despite the code's specific mention of a driver, passengers can also suffer similar injuries in these accident scenarios.
