V71.6: Bus occupant injured in collision with pedal cycle : passenger injured in traffic accident
This condition refers to injuries that a bus passenger sustains as a result of a collision with a pedal cycle during a traffic accident. Injuries can range from minor to severe depending on the nature of the collision and may impact various parts of the body, such as the head, neck, extremities, or internal organs. The severity of the injury could be influenced by several factors, including the speed of the bus and the pedal cycle, the passenger's position in the bus at the time of the collision, and whether the passenger was using a seatbelt or other safety measures. Symptoms of these injuries can include pain, bruising, swelling, cuts, broken bones, or more serious symptoms like unconsciousness or trouble breathing if internal injuries occur. In the aftermath of a traffic accident, it's crucial to promptly undergo a thorough medical evaluation to detect and address any injuries.
