V73.2: Bus occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van : person on outside of vehicle injured in nontraffic accident
This medical condition occurs when a person, located on the outside of a bus, gets injured in a nontraffic accident due to a collision with a car, pick-up truck, or van. This type of injury typically arises from accidents that do not occur on public roads, such as accidents in parking lots, private roads, driveways, or other non-public domains. The individual could be a pedestrian, a cyclist, or any person outside of the vehicle when the accident happens. The type and severity of the injuries can greatly vary, ranging from minor lacerations, bruises, or sprains, to more serious injuries like fractures, head traumas, or internal damage, depending on the nature and force of the collision. It's crucial to note that the physical and emotional impact is often dependent on the extent and location of the injury, and the immediate medical attention received after the incident.
