This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a large vehicle, such as a bus or train, involved in a traffic accident. The collision specifically occurred with a non-motorized vehicle, like a bicycle or animal-drawn vehicle, on a public roadway. This particular code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient who was injured while riding as a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., bus, streetcar, train) that collided with a non-motor vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, pushcart) in a traffic accident. This applies to the first time the patient presents for care related to this specific injury.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger and not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Verify the heavy transport vehicle was involved in a collision with a non-motor vehicle.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
