V68.4: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident : person injured while boarding or alighting
The medical condition corresponds to an injury sustained by an individual who was either boarding, alighting, or occupying a heavy transport vehicle at the time of a noncollision transport accident. It implies that the accident did not involve a crash with another vehicle but rather took place due to other factors, such as faulty equipment, poor weather conditions, or driver error. The person could be a passenger, driver, or operator of the heavy transport vehicle. The severity of injuries can vary widely, from minor bruises and sprains to major traumas involving fractures, internal injuries, or head injuries depending on factors such as the speed of the vehicle, the nature of the accident, and whether or not safety equipment was used. This classification does not provide specific details about the nature or severity of the injury itself.
