V77.5: Bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : driver injured in traffic accident
Bus occupant injuries due to collision with a fixed or stationary object refer to the physical harm incurred by the driver of a bus following a traffic accident that involves the bus hitting an immobile object. This typically means that the bus had contact with objects such as poles, barriers, walls or other non-moving items. The degree of the injuries can vary considerably depending on the intensity of the collision, ranging from minor bruises, burns and fractures, to severe concussions and other forms of major trauma. Often, the head, neck, and chest areas are particularly vulnerable in such incidents. The resulting harm may cause visible wounds or internal injuries to vital organs that may not be readily apparent. Accidents of this nature often require immediate and intricate medical attention to identify and treat potential injuries.
