V68: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident
V68.3: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident : unspecified occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
The ICD-10 reference V68.3 refers to injuries sustained by an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle, such as a truck or a bus, during a noncollision transport accident. This classification covers various types of wounds or trauma experienced by an individual while onboard the heavy transport vehicle, but the accident does not involve a crash with another vehicle or object. This could happen in various scenarios, including overturning, running off the road, or other similar incidents. The injuries can range from minor surface wounds to major bodily harm, potentially involving almost any system of the body. Unspecified occupants include anyone who was traveling in the vehicle at the time of the accident, whether driver, co-driver, passenger, or other staff. Nontraffic accidents refer to those that take place off public roads, for instance in parking lots, loading docks, or private property.
