About the V74 Code Range
These codes describe people injured on or around a bus when it collides with a heavy transport vehicle or another bus.
The subdivisions separate nontraffic accidents from traffic accidents, then distinguish the bus driver, a passenger, someone outside the bus, or an unspecified occupant. V74.4 separately identifies someone boarding or getting off the bus; its title does not specify traffic status.
Each subdivision has a seventh character for the encounter: A for initial, D for subsequent, or S for sequela, a later effect.
