This code describes injuries sustained by the driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., ATV, trike) who collided with an immovable object (e.g., tree, pole, building) in an area not open to public traffic (e.g., private property, off-road trail). The "sequela" seventh character indicates that this code is used for conditions arising as a late effect or complication of such an initial injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term consequence or residual condition directly resulting from a past accident where they, as the driver of a three-wheeled vehicle, struck a fixed object in a non-traffic setting. Examples include chronic pain, nerve damage, or functional limitations stemming from the original incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the specified type of past accident.
• Verify the patient was the driver and the vehicle was three-wheeled.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a non-traffic area and involved a fixed or stationary object.
