This code describes an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pick-up truck or van and sustained injuries during a collision with a train or other railway vehicle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic accident setting, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway. This is for the initial encounter for care related to these injuries.

Apply this code when documenting injuries sustained by a patient who was riding on the outside of a pick-up truck or van involved in a collision with a train. This scenario typically occurs in private property, industrial areas, or other locations not designated as public thoroughfares. It is specifically for the initial treatment of these injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was outside the vehicle, not inside.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, distinguishing it from collisions on public roads.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injuries from this specific accident.
