This code describes an injury sustained by a passenger in a pickup truck or van involved in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area. It specifically denotes the initial phase of treatment for the injury.

This code is appropriate when documenting the initial encounter for a patient who was a passenger in a pickup truck or van and was injured in a collision with a large commercial vehicle or bus. The accident must have taken place in an area not considered a public thoroughfare. Examples include injuries from a collision in a private industrial yard or a large commercial parking lot.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger and not the driver.
• Verify the collision involved a heavy transport vehicle or bus and a pickup truck or van.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a nontraffic location.
