This code describes an injury sustained by an individual riding a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle or auto-rickshaw) who collides with either a pedestrian or an animal. The incident must occur in a non-traffic environment, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or field, and represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient injured while an unspecified occupant of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in an off-road collision with a person or animal. Examples include a patient struck by a deer while riding a motorized trike on a farm, or a collision with a pedestrian in a private parking garage.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a three-wheeled motor vehicle, not a bicycle or ATV.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic area and involved a pedestrian or animal.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
