This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a large transport vehicle (e.g., a bus, train, or large truck) during a traffic accident. The collision specifically involved another non-motorized vehicle, such as a bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, or pedestrian conveyance, within a traffic environment.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a person who was, for example, riding on the outside of a moving train or bus and was struck by a bicycle. It is also appropriate for scenarios where an individual was clinging to the exterior of a large truck and was involved in a collision with a horse-drawn carriage. This code is specifically for the initial encounter for such an injury.

• Ensure the patient was on the outside of the heavy transport vehicle, not inside.
• Verify the collision was with a non-motor vehicle and occurred in a traffic accident context.
• The "A" at the end signifies an initial encounter for this injury.
