Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal (V60)
The ICD-10 code V60 and its subcategories are used to classify injuries sustained by occupants of heavy transport vehicles during collisions involving pedestrians or animals. These codes differentiate injury specifics based on the role of the injured party (driver, passenger, person on outside, boarding or alighting) and whether the accident was a traffic or nontraffic event.
This section helps medical coders accurately report incidents where someone in a heavy transport vehicle; such as a large truck; was injured by colliding with a pedestrian or animal. Codes like V60.0 cover drivers injured in nontraffic accidents, while V60.5 applies to drivers in traffic-related incidents. Each code further specifies the encounter type: initial treatment, subsequent care, or sequela (complications after the initial injury). Though no synonyms are listed, knowing these distinctions is crucial for precise documentation of external causes of injury. Understanding the ICD-10 code for occupant injuries in heavy vehicle collisions ensures proper classification of these complex accident scenarios, improving communication among healthcare providers and insurers.

Instructional Notations
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- heavy transport vehicle collision with animal-drawn vehicle or animal being ridden V66
7th Character Note
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V60
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
