Person outside hv veh inj in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a large transport vehicle (e.g., train, bus, truck) when it collided with a pedestrian or an animal. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not happen on a public road or highway.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a person riding on the outside of a heavy transport vehicle, such as a train hopper or someone on the exterior of a bus, who is involved in a collision with a person or animal. This is specifically for accidents occurring off public roadways, like in a rail yard or private property.

• Ensure the patient was on the outside of the vehicle, not inside.
• Verify the collision was with a pedestrian or animal, not another vehicle.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a nontraffic environment.
