Car driver injured in collision w hv veh nontraf, init

This code identifies a driver of a car who sustained injuries during a collision with a large commercial vehicle (e.g., semi-truck, bus) that occurred in an area other than a public roadway. This indicates the initial phase of treatment for these injuries.

Apply this code when a car driver is injured in an accident involving a heavy transport vehicle or bus on private property, such as a parking lot, private driveway, or industrial yard. This is specifically for the initial presentation and management of the patient's injuries.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" environment; if on a public road, a different code is required.
• Confirm the patient was the driver of the car, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the specific injuries sustained in this accident. Subsequent care will require different encounter characters.
