V70-V79: Bus occupant injured in transport accident
V79: Bus occupant injured in other and unspecified transport accidents
The group of conditions, "Bus occupant injured in other and unspecified transport accidents," describes a variety of potential injuries that an individual may encounter while using bus transportation due to various types of accidents. These accidents could range from minor incidents, such as sudden braking, to more severe circumstances like collisions with other vehicles or objects. Though the specific traits of these injuries largely rely on the nature of the accident, they generally include traumas like fractures, concussions, sprains, lacerations, contusions and even more severe injuries. The factors influencing these injuries can include the velocity of the bus at the time of the accident, the location and proximity of the passenger to the point of impact, and whether safety measures such as seat belts were in use. As a result, any system of the body could potentially be affected and show varied symptoms. The progression of the condition largely depends on the type and severity of the injury.
