The medical condition described by this ICD-10 code refers to an injury sustained by the driver of a heavy transport vehicle in a noncollision transport accident. A noncollision transport accident typically involves the vehicle running off the road, overturning without another vehicle involved, or the driver losing control of the vehicle. Injuries from such incidents can vary greatly in severity, depending on individual circumstances of the accident like speed, use of safety belts, and the driver's physical condition at the time of the accident. Common injuries can range from minor bruises and lacerations to serious conditions like fractures, internal bleeding, or traumatic brain injuries. Symptoms can be immediate or delayed but often include pain, swelling, or visible trauma at the site of injury. It may affect multiple systems of the body, based on the nature and extent of trauma.
