X82: Intentional self-harm by crashing of motor vehicle

Intentional self-harm by crashing of a motor vehicle refers to a group of conditions, each associated with a conscious and intentional act of harming oneself by causing a motor vehicle crash. This usually occurs due to underlying psychological issues, such as severe depression or other mental health conditions. It's important to note that this is not an accidental event, but a deliberate action to inflict harm or injury on oneself. Individuals experiencing this may show signs of distress, depressive symptoms, express feelings of hopelessness, and could even verbally communicate a desire to die. The impact of these actions can be quite severe, causing various physical injuries ranging from minor to major and potentially lethal. It also has significant mental and emotional repercussions, not just on the individual involved, but also on their loved ones and emergency response teams.
