This code signifies an injury sustained by the operator of a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle or auto-rickshaw) when their vehicle strikes an immobile object. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway or involve other moving vehicles. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with injuries resulting from operating a three-wheeled vehicle that collided with a stationary object, such as a tree, building, or pole, within a private property, parking lot, or other off-road environment. This code is appropriate for the first encounter for treatment of these injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a three-wheeled motor vehicle and a fixed or stationary object.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting; otherwise, a different V-code category may be appropriate.
• The "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter, so use this for the first time the patient is seen for this specific injury.
