This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a pick-up truck or van involved in a motor vehicle collision with another car, pick-up truck, or van. The incident occurred on a public thoroughfare, and the patient is presenting for initial treatment of their injuries.

This code is appropriate for documenting the external cause of injury for a patient who was a passenger in a pick-up truck or van involved in a multi-vehicle accident on a roadway. It should be used for the initial encounter where the patient's injuries are first evaluated and treated.

• Ensure the patient's role is specifically "passenger" and not the driver.
• Verify both vehicles involved were either a car, pick-up truck, or van.
• Confirm the accident occurred in traffic (on a public road).
