Person outside hv veh inj in nonclsn trnsp acc in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck, train) during a traffic-related incident that did not involve a collision with another object or vehicle. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care.

Apply this code when a patient presents with injuries resulting from being thrown from, falling off, or being struck by their own heavy transport vehicle while they were on the outside of it, and the incident occurred in traffic without a collision. Examples include a person falling off the back of a moving flatbed truck or a train conductor injured while riding on the side of a train during a non-collision event.

• Ensure the patient was on the outside of the heavy transport vehicle, not inside.
• Verify the accident was a noncollision event and occurred in a traffic environment.
• The "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for this injury.
