Intentional collision of motor vehicle w mtr veh, init

This code signifies an intentional act where a motor vehicle is deliberately driven into another motor vehicle, resulting in a collision. This is not an accidental event but rather a purposeful crash, often with malicious intent.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a driver intentionally caused their vehicle to strike another vehicle. This would include scenarios such as road rage incidents where one driver purposefully rams another, or an act of vehicular assault.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the collision was intentional, not accidental.
• This code is for the "initial encounter" of care for the injuries sustained from this event.
• Always code the specific injuries sustained in addition to this external cause code.
