This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting into or out of a car when that car was involved in a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care.

Use this code for patients presenting with injuries resulting from an incident where they were boarding or alighting a car that was struck by a non-motorized vehicle. This includes scenarios such as being hit by a bicycle while opening a car door or stepping out of a vehicle.

• Ensure the patient was specifically boarding or alighting the car, not merely a passenger or driver.
• Verify the other vehicle involved was non-motorized.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
