V78.6: Bus occupant injured in noncollision transport accident : passenger injured in traffic accident
The condition referred to as "Bus occupant injured in noncollision transport accident: passenger injured in traffic accident" involves an individual who, while being a passenger in a bus, has sustained injury due to a noncollision transport accident. A noncollision transport accident signifies an incident where the bus itself was not involved in an immediate impact or collision with another vehicle or object. This could occur due to sudden swerving, abrupt braking, or the bus moving off-road, among other scenarios. The injuries from these accidents can range from minor, such as cuts and bruises, to severe, including fractures, head injuries or internal damages. These injuries result from the force exerted on the body during the unexpected movement or stoppage of the bus. The presentation of symptoms would depend on the type and severity of injury sustained. The aftermath of such an accident might require immediate medical attention to accurately assess and manage the extent of the injury.
