This code signifies a long-term complication or condition arising from an individual being injured while on the exterior of a three-wheeled motor vehicle during a collision with a train or railway vehicle. The original incident occurred in a traffic accident setting, and the sequela represents the lasting effects of that trauma.

Apply this code when documenting a condition that is a direct consequence of a past traffic accident involving a person on the outside of a three-wheeled motor vehicle colliding with a train. This would be used for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or when the long-term effects of the original injury are being treated.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by codes for the specific conditions or complications being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past railway traffic accident.
• Verify the patient was on the outside of the three-wheeled motor vehicle at the time of the original injury.
