V74.7: Bus occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus : person on outside of vehicle injured in traffic accident

The condition identified by ICD-10 code V74.7 refers to an injury experienced by a bus occupant caused by a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus, specifically, when the victim is positioned on the outside of the vehicle during the traffic accident. This scenario often involves quite serious injuries due to the size and weight of the involved vehicles, as well as the vulnerable position of the person affected. The types of injuries incurred may range widely, from minor cuts and bruises to major trauma such as broken bones, internal injuries, or head trauma. Symptoms often vary depending on the specific nature and severity of the injury; however, pain, discomfort, bleeding, swelling, or loss of function in parts of the body are common indicators that a serious injury may have been sustained in such an accident.
