This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was either getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle when it collided with a non-moving object. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care related to this specific incident.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from an accident where a patient was an occupant (boarding or alighting) of a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto-rickshaw) that struck a stationary object such as a tree, pole, or building. This code is appropriate for the initial medical encounter for these injuries.

• Ensure the patient was an occupant (boarding/alighting) and not a pedestrian or driver of another vehicle.
• Verify the vehicle involved was specifically a three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Confirm the collision was with a fixed or stationary object, not another moving vehicle or a non-fixed object.
