V87.4: Person injured in collision between car and heavy transport vehicle (traffic)
A person injured in a collision between a car and heavy transport vehicle (traffic) has sustained injuries as a result of a vehicle accident where a smaller car collided with a larger, heavy transport vehicle such as a truck or bus. This type of incident typically occurs in a traffic setting. The injuries may vary greatly depending on various factors, including the speed and force of the collision, safety measures in place like seatbelts and airbags, and the health of the individual before the accident. Injuries can range from minor, such as scratches and bruises, to severe, such as head trauma, internal injuries, fractures, and in extreme cases, can even be fatal. The aftermath often requires extensive medical intervention and graduation recovery overtime.
