This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pickup truck or van when that vehicle collided with another car, pickup truck, or van. The collision occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot or private property. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries to individuals riding on the outside of a pickup truck or van, for example, in the bed of the truck, who are involved in a collision with another similar vehicle. This applies to incidents occurring off public roadways, such as on a farm, in a private driveway, or within a commercial yard.

• Ensure the accident explicitly occurred in a non-traffic setting.
• Verify the patient was outside the vehicle, not an occupant within the cab.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
