V70.0: Bus occupant injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : driver injured in nontraffic accident
Bus occupant injured in collision with pedestrian or animal refers to a medical condition where the driver of a bus has sustained injuries as a result of a nontraffic accident involving a pedestrian or an animal. The incident does not necessarily need to occur on the open road, but can take place in any location where there is potential for the bus to collide with a pedestrian or animal, such as a parking lot or private property. Injuries can range from minor, such as superficial cuts or bruises, to severe, like fractures or internal injuries. Depending on the severity of the collision, injuries may affect the driver's skin, bones, internal organs or head. The presentation of symptoms will depend on the nature and extent of the injury. For instance, a fracture may cause immediate intense pain and swellings while internal injuries may initially present vague complaints such as pain or discomfort and progress to more serious symptoms such as blood in the stool or urine, abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing.
