V87: Traffic accident of specified type but victim's mode of transport unknown
V87.2: Person injured in collision between car and pick-up truck or van (traffic)
The diagnostic condition referred to as "Person injured in collision between car and pick-up truck or van (traffic)" categorizes individuals who have encountered a road traffic accident involving a car and a pickup truck or van. Injuries sustained in such incidents can vary dramatically based on a multitude of factors such as the speed of the vehicles, the point of impact, the use of safety devices like seat belts or airbags, and individual's physical condition prior to the accident. Injuries can be minor, such as cuts and bruises, or severe, potentially involving broken bones, internal injuries, spinal injury, or traumatic brain injury. Post-collision, individuals may experience shock, pain, confusion, and disorientation. Symptoms might appear immediately after the accident, or they could emerge or worsen in the following hours or days.
