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

V68.1: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in nontraffic accident

The condition described under ICD-10 code V68.1 refers to the specific circumstance where a passenger has been injured in a non-collision transport accident, while occupying a heavy transport vehicle in a non-traffic setting. This may involve scenarios where the vehicle is engaged in operations on sites such as construction zones, warehouses, or agricultural settings, and an accident occurs without an impact involving another vehicle. The injury may occur due to a sudden start or stop, an abrupt maneuver, a part of the vehicle failing, or the off-road terrain, rather than a traditional traffic accident. The injuries sustained might vary considerably and could impact any part of the body, including the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular systems, etc., corresponding with the type and severity of the accident. The progression of these injuries would also vary widely, depending on the specific injury, its severity, and other individual health factors of the individual involved.
