Car driver injured in nonclsn trnsp accident in traf, init

This code describes injuries sustained by the driver of a car involved in a transportation accident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. The incident occurred on a public roadway or traffic area. This typically refers to single-vehicle incidents like rollovers, skidding off the road, or falling from a moving vehicle.

Use this code when documenting the initial treatment for a car driver injured in an accident such as losing control and overturning the vehicle, or being ejected from the car while it was in motion, provided no other vehicle or fixed object was struck. This code is appropriate for the first encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of the car, not a passenger.
• Verify the accident was a noncollision event (e.g., rollover, loss of control without impact).
• Confirm the incident occurred in a traffic accident context (on a public road).
