Driver of hv veh inj in clsn w statnry object in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual operating a large commercial vehicle, such as a truck or bus, when their vehicle strikes an unmoving object during a traffic incident. The injury occurred during the initial phase of treatment or evaluation for the incident.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a driver of a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., semi-truck, dump truck, city bus) who was involved in a collision where their vehicle impacted a stationary object (e.g., bridge abutment, tree, building, guardrail). This code is appropriate for the initial visit for care related to the accident.

• Ensure the patient is explicitly documented as the "driver" of the heavy transport vehicle.
• Verify the collision involved a "fixed or stationary object" and not another moving vehicle.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of the injuries from this specific accident.
