This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a car when it collided with a van. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private property, and represents the initial treatment for this specific injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries to pedestrians, bystanders, or individuals working near a vehicle when they are struck by a van that is colliding with a car. This applies to accidents occurring off public roadways, such as in driveways, private lots, or industrial areas, during the initial phase of care.

• Verify the accident involved a van and a car, and occurred in a non-traffic environment.
