This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The accident occurred in a non-traffic area, such as a private driveway or parking lot, and represents the initial treatment for the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the cause of injury when a patient presents for initial care after being a passenger in a three-wheeled vehicle that collided with a standard automobile in an off-road or private property setting. It should be used for the first encounter related to this specific incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was a passenger and not the driver.
• Verify the accident involved a three-wheeled motor vehicle and a car, pickup truck, or van.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a nontraffic environment and this is the initial encounter for treatment.
