Apply this code when documenting injuries to a patient who was a passenger in a three-wheeled vehicle (e.g., auto-rickshaw, trike) that collided with a large commercial vehicle or public transport bus on a public roadway. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the injury is first evaluated and treated.

• Verify the type of vehicle the patient was in was a "three-wheeled motor vehicle."
• Confirm the other vehicle involved was a "heavy transport vehicle or bus" in a traffic accident.
