V70.6: Bus occupant injured in collision with pedestrian or animal : passenger injured in traffic accident
The condition described under ICD-10 code V70.6 refers to injuries sustained by a bus occupant, specifically a passenger, during a traffic accident involving a collision with a pedestrian or an animal. The presentation and severity of the injury could vary significantly based on the circumstances of the accident, ranging from minor bruises or fractures to more serious injuries such as concussion, internal injuries, or trauma to any part of the body. The manifestations of this condition could include symptoms like pain, swelling, deformity, limited mobility or unconsciousness, depending on the site and severity of the injury. This condition is purely accidental, and not a disease or illness that can spread or progress on its own.
