The condition described by ICD-10 code V74.5 refers to injuries suffered by a bus driver during a traffic accident involving a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or another bus. These injuries can range from minor to severe depending on the nature and intensity of the collision. They may include musculoskeletal injuries such as fractures, strains and sprains; head injuries like concussions or more severe traumatic brain injuries; internal injuries to organs such as the lungs, liver, kidneys, or heart; or cuts and abrasions. Swelling, bruising, pain, disorientation, confusion, or loss of consciousness may occur immediately after the accident.
