V88: Nontraffic accident of specified type but victim's mode of transport unknown
V88.3: Person injured in collision between car and bus, nontraffic
The ICD-10 code V88.3 refers to an injury resulting from a collision between a car and a bus in a non-traffic situation. This kind of accident can happen in areas not intended for traffic, such as parking lots, driveways, or private property. In these incidents, a person is injured but not necessarily an occupant of either the car or the bus involved. The types of injuries can vary greatly depending on the specifics of the collision, but they may include but not limited to trauma to the head, neck, or torso, wounds, fractures, and internal injuries. The severity can range from minor bruises to life-threatening conditions. Immediate medical attention is generally required to assess, diagnose and manage the injuries.
