The condition referred to by this classification involves injuries sustained by an individual while they were a passenger on a bus, when the bus was involved in a collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles while in traffic. These injures could vary in type and severity depending on the nature of the accident, including but not limited to: head injuries, whiplash, broken bones, cuts, bruises, or internal injuries. The symptoms experienced will depend on the specific injuries sustained. For example, a head injury may result in a headache, nausea, loss of consciousness, while a fracture may cause intense pain, difficulty in movement or even deformity at the site of the fracture. While the immediate cause of the condition is the traffic collision, factors such as safety measures used, speed of the vehicles involved, and the angle of collision could influence the extent of the injuries sustained.
