This code describes injuries sustained by a passenger in a large vehicle, such as a bus or truck, when that vehicle crashes into an immobile object like a pole, building, or barrier, within a traffic environment. The injury occurred during the initial phase of treatment.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to an individual who was a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle involved in a collision with a fixed object on a public road or highway. This is appropriate for the initial encounter for the injury.

• Ensure the patient's role was "passenger" and not driver or pedestrian.
• Verify the vehicle type was a "heavy transport vehicle" (e.g., bus, truck, motor home).
• Confirm the collision was with a "fixed or stationary object" in a traffic accident.
