Driver of pk-up/van injured in clsn w oth mv nontraf, init

This code identifies an injury sustained by the driver of a pickup truck or van involved in a collision with another motor vehicle. The collision occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private property, and represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a pickup truck or van driver involved in a crash with another vehicle that did not occur on a public roadway. Examples include incidents in private driveways, parking garages, or industrial yards. This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of the pickup truck or van, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic area, distinguishing it from collisions on public roads.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
