V79: Bus occupant injured in other and unspecified transport accidents
V79.3: Bus occupant [any] injured in unspecified nontraffic accident
"Bus occupant [any] injured in unspecified nontraffic accident" refers to a condition where a person riding within a bus has sustained injuries due to a nontraffic accident. Nontraffic accidents refer to incidents not involving the movement of the bus in traffic, or incidents that are not necessarily related to road or highway transportation. This may include injuries from sudden braking, accidents while the bus is stationary, or entering or exiting the vehicle. An "unspecified" accident denotes that there is not enough information about the specifics of the accident. With a range of potential injuries varying from minor cuts or bruises to more severe injuries such as fractures or concussions, the health consequences of such accidents can vary greatly depending on certain factors, such as the nature of the accident itself, the person's position in the bus, and whether they were using safety measures, like seat belts, at the time of the accident.
