This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a large vehicle, such as a bus or truck, involved in a collision with another motor vehicle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., a school bus, commercial truck, or tour bus) that collided with another vehicle in a private parking lot, a private drive, or an industrial complex. This code is appropriate for the first encounter for care related to this specific accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger and not the driver.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic area, such as a private lot or facility.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injuries sustained in this specific event.
