This code signifies an injury sustained by an unidentifiable occupant of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) involved in a traffic accident with a pedal cyclist. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care related to this specific incident.

This code is appropriate when documentation clearly indicates an injury to an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle following a collision with a bicycle, but the specific role of the occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not specified. It is used for the initial medical encounter for this injury.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a "heavy transport vehicle" and a "pedal cycle" as the involved parties.
• Only use this code when the occupant's specific role is unknown or not documented.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for treatment of injuries from this particular accident.
