Driver of hv veh inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual operating a large commercial vehicle, such as a semi-truck or bus, when involved in a collision with a smaller passenger vehicle (car, pickup, or van). The accident occurred in a non-traffic environment, meaning off public roadways, like a parking lot or private property.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to the driver of a heavy transport vehicle involved in an off-road collision with a car, pickup, or van. This specifically applies to the initial treatment or evaluation of the injury. Examples include accidents in loading docks, private industrial yards, or large commercial parking areas.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of the heavy transport vehicle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the collision involved a car, pickup truck, or van, and not another heavy transport vehicle or fixed object.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a non-traffic area; use other codes for public road incidents.
