V77.6: Bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : passenger injured in traffic accident

The ICD-10 V77.6 refers to injuries that a bus occupant, specifically a passenger, can sustain in a traffic accident involving a collision with a fixed or stationary object. This could include anything from buildings, telephone poles, trees, or guardrails. The injuries that result from these types of incidents can range greatly in their extent and nature, and can affect various body systems depending on the force and direction of the impact. Common injuries may include fractures, internal injuries, head trauma, whiplash or other soft tissue injuries. The severity of the injuries can vary based on different factors such as the speed of the bus at the time of collision, the size and shape of the stationary object, and whether the passenger was using a seatbelt or other safety devices. Apart from physical injuries, passengers may also experience psychological distress after the accident.
