V68.6: Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in traffic accident
The medical condition referred to as "Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident: passenger injured in traffic accident" is an incident that occurs when a passenger riding in a heavy vehicular transport sustains an injury during a noncollision incident. This typically involves situations where the vehicle, despite not physically coming into contact with another vehicle, experiences a mishap such as overturning or running off the road. The impact or abrupt disturbance inside the vehicle could cause injuries to its occupants. The types of injuries could vary greatly, from minor to severe, and could involve different parts of the body such as the head, limbs, torso, or the internal organs depending on the nature of the accident. Critical factors influencing the severity of the injury include the speed of the vehicle at the time of the accident, the circumstances causing the noncollision incident and whether the occupant was using safety devices like seat belts. The injuries resultant from noncollision transport accidents could lead to immediate or delayed medical complications.
