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

This code signifies an initial encounter for an unspecified individual who sustained injuries while inside a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) during a collision with a pedestrian or animal. The incident occurred in a location other than a public roadway, such as a private lot, farm, or industrial area.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient injured as an occupant of a large vehicle involved in an off-road collision with a person or animal. Examples include a bus driver injured when their bus hits a deer in a private parking lot, or a truck passenger hurt when the truck strikes a cow on a farm.

• Ensure the accident did not occur on a public highway or street to justify the "nontraffic" designation.
• Verify the patient was an occupant of the heavy transport vehicle, not the pedestrian or animal.
• This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent care requires a different seventh character.
