Occ of anml-drn veh inj in clsn w animal being ridden, init

This code describes injuries sustained by a person riding in an animal-drawn vehicle (e.g., a buggy, carriage) when that vehicle collides with an animal that is being ridden (e.g., a horse with a rider). The injury is a direct result of this specific type of impact.

Use this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient injured while an occupant of a horse-drawn buggy that crashed into a person riding a horse. This would also apply to similar scenarios involving other animal-drawn vehicles and ridden animals.

• Ensure the patient was an occupant of the animal-drawn vehicle, not the rider of the animal.
• Verify the collision was specifically with an animal being ridden, not a free-roaming animal or another vehicle.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
