This code describes an injury sustained by a passenger traveling in a pickup truck or van involved in a motor vehicle accident where the vehicle struck a stationary object. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care following the collision.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries to individuals who were passengers in a pickup truck or van that collided with a non-moving object, such as a tree, pole, or building, while on a public roadway. It should be used for the initial medical encounter related to these injuries.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger, not the driver, and the vehicle type was specifically a pickup truck or van.
• Verify the collision involved a fixed or stationary object, distinguishing it from collisions with other moving vehicles.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injuries sustained in this specific accident.
