V73.3: Bus occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van : unspecified bus occupant injured in nontraffic accident

Bus occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck, or van refers to a specific injury incident that a person experiences while traveling as a passenger or driver in a bus, when the bus collides with either a car, a pick-up truck, or a van. The code specifies that this accident does not take place in a traffic context, meaning it could happen in a private driveway, a parking lot, or other non-public roadway. The nature and severity of the injuries can vary widely based on factors such as the speed of impact, the size and weight of the vehicle involved, and the location of the individual within the bus at the time of impact. This can range from minor bruises and sprains to more severe injuries like fractures, internal bleeding, or traumatic brain injuries. Because this code does not specify the injury, the symptoms, disease progression, and affected system can vary greatly depending on the specific incident.
