Passenger in hv veh injured in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train, large truck) when it collided with either a pedestrian or an animal. The collision occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private parking lot, a farm, or an industrial site, and represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Use this code when a patient presents for initial care after being injured as a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle involved in an impact with a person or animal outside of a public roadway. Examples include a bus passenger injured when the bus hits a deer on a private estate, or a train passenger injured when the train strikes a person on private tracks.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger and not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Verify the collision involved a pedestrian or animal, not another vehicle.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a nontraffic area.
