Prsn brd/alit hv veh injured pick-up truck, pk-up/van, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train, large truck) when it was involved in a collision with a smaller passenger vehicle like a car, pickup truck, or van. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries to passengers or crew members who were boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle at the time of impact with a car, pickup, or van. This includes scenarios such as a bus passenger stepping off the bus when it's struck by a car, or a train passenger boarding when a van collides with the train.

• Ensure the patient was actively boarding or alighting the heavy transport vehicle, not simply a passenger within it.
• Verify the colliding vehicle was specifically a car, pickup truck, or van.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
