This code describes an injury sustained by a person walking or running who was hit by a two- or three-wheeled motorized vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, moped, scooter) in an area not designated for public traffic, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or farm field. It specifically indicates the initial treatment for this type of incident.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a pedestrian injured by a motorcycle or similar vehicle in a non-traffic setting. Examples include a person hit by a dirt bike on private property or a moped in a parking garage. This code is appropriate for the first time the patient presents for care related to this specific accident.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic area; otherwise, a different external cause code is needed.
• Verify the injured party was a pedestrian and the striking vehicle was a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injuries sustained in this specific accident.
