This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting into or out of a pick-up truck or van when it was struck by a train or other railway vehicle. The injury occurred during the initial impact event.

Apply this code when documenting injuries resulting from a train-vehicle collision where the patient was an occupant of a pick-up truck or van and was actively boarding or alighting at the time of impact. This is appropriate for the initial medical assessment and treatment of such injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the pick-up truck/van.
• Verify the collision involved a railway train or vehicle, not another type of vehicle.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for care; use subsequent suffixes for follow-up care.
