This code describes an individual who was an occupant, but not enclosed within, a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto rickshaw) and sustained injuries from a collision with a standard passenger car, pickup truck, or van. The accident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or farm field. This specific code is for the initial treatment of these injuries.

Use this code when documenting injuries to a patient who was riding on the exterior of a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., in an open cargo area, or clinging to the side) and was involved in an impact with a car, pickup, or van. This applies to incidents occurring off public roadways, such as a collision in a private parking lot or on private property. It is specifically for the first time the patient is seen for these injuries.

• Ensure the patient was on the outside of the three-wheeled vehicle, not enclosed within it.
• Verify the colliding vehicle was a car, pickup, or van, and not another type of vehicle.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting (e.g., private property, parking lot).
