V70: Bus occupant injured in collision with pedestrian or animal
V70.3: Bus occupant injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : unspecified bus occupant injured in nontraffic accident
The condition coded as V70.3 in the ICD-10 WHO 2016 classification refers to injuries sustained by an occupant of a bus in an accident involving a collision with a pedestrian or animal. These types of injuries typically occur in non-traffic situations, meaning they happen in places other than public roads, such as a parking lot, private property, or other off-road locations. The injuries may range from minor bruises or sprains to more severe ones like fractures, head injuries, or internal damage. The actual nature and severity of injuries depend on the circumstances of the collision, including factors like speed at the time of the collision, whether occupant was standing or seated, and the protective measures in use, like seatbelts. It's important to note that this code simply refers to the circumstance of an accident and doesn't provide specifics about the type of injuries sustained.
