This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding an unspecified three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a traffic accident with either a pedestrian or an animal. The specific type of three-wheeled vehicle (e.g., ATV, motorcycle with sidecar) is not documented, nor is the role of the injured person (e.g., driver, passenger). This code is used for the initial treatment of such an injury.

Use this code when documentation indicates an injury to an occupant of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a collision with a pedestrian or animal, and the specific type of three-wheeled vehicle or the occupant's role is not specified. This applies to the initial encounter for treatment of the injury resulting from this accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states a three-wheeled vehicle was involved, but lacks specificity regarding its type or the occupant's role.
• Confirm the collision was with a pedestrian or animal in a traffic accident context.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
