This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from a past injury sustained by a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train) that collided with a stationary object. The original incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private property or industrial area. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter is for the management of these residual effects.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for chronic pain, limited mobility, neurological deficits, or other lasting health issues directly attributable to a non-traffic collision involving a heavy transport vehicle. This applies when the patient was a passenger and the initial injury event is no longer acute.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original injury event and specifies the patient's role as a passenger.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "non-traffic" environment to differentiate from traffic accidents.
