This code signifies an injury sustained by the driver of a large commercial vehicle, such as a truck or bus, involved in a traffic accident with a motorcycle or scooter. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care following the collision. It specifically identifies the role of the injured party and the types of vehicles involved.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient who was operating a heavy transport vehicle and was injured in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle on a public roadway. This is appropriate for emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or first outpatient visits directly related to the accident.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of the heavy transport vehicle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the other vehicle involved was a motorcycle, scooter, or similar two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injuries sustained in this specific accident. Subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
