V77.7: Bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object : person on outside of vehicle injured in traffic accident
Bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object: person on outside of vehicle injured in traffic accident, as the name implies, refers to a specific kind of injury that occurs when an individual, who is not inside, but on the outside of a bus, gets injured due to a traffic accident. This usually occurs when the bus they are travelling in collides with a fixed or stationary object such as a lamppost, a tree, or any other unmoving obstacle. The pattern and severity of the injury can significantly vary depending on various factors such as the speed of the bus at the time of collision, the nature of the stationary object, among others. The injuries resulting from such incidents can range from minor bruises, cuts or sprains to more serious injuries like fracture, internal bleeding or damages to the vital organs.
