Drvr of 3-whl mv inj in clsn w statnry object in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual operating a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto rickshaw) who collided with an immovable object (e.g., a tree, pole, building) while on a public roadway. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for treatment.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from a traffic accident where the patient was the driver of a three-wheeled vehicle and struck a stationary object. This is appropriate for the initial emergency department visit or first encounter for treatment of these injuries.

• Ensure the patient was explicitly the driver of the three-wheeled vehicle.
• Verify the collision involved a fixed or stationary object and occurred in a traffic accident context.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
