V69.3: Occupant [any] of heavy transport vehicle injured in unspecified nontraffic accident

The medical condition referred to by the ICD-10 code V69.3 pertains to a situation where an individual, designated as an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle (such as a truck, bus, or large freight vehicle), sustains injury as a result of an unspecified nontraffic accident. An unspecified nontraffic accident refers to an accident that is not directly related to circulating road traffic, for example, an incident occurring in a parking lot, private premises, dirt roads, or during loading and unloading operations. The type, severity and location of the injury suffered can vary widely, from minor injuries like cuts and bruises to more severe injuries like fractures, head trauma or internal injuries. The injury could be a result of a sudden crash, overturning vehicle, falling cargo, among other incidents. As this can relate to a wide spectrum of possible injuries, exact symptoms, disease progression and affected systems would depend on the specific injury incurred.
