Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident (V68)
The ICD-10 code V68 category is used to classify injuries to occupants of heavy transport vehicles that occur during noncollision transport accidents. These codes differentiate by the role of the injured person; such as driver, passenger, or person outside the vehicle; and by whether the accident happened in traffic or nontraffic conditions.
These codes cover a range of specific situations, including drivers injured in nontraffic accidents (e.g., V68.0XXA for initial encounters), passengers, and people boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle. The section also addresses subsequent encounters and sequelae (late effects) of these injuries, using seventh-character extensions like "A" for initial, "D" for subsequent, and "S" for sequela. For example, a fall from a heavy goods vehicle, commonly encountered but unspecified, is coded under V68.3XX. The detailed distinctions help medical coders assign accurate external cause codes for injuries during noncollision events involving large trucks or similar vehicles, which is essential when working with ICD-10 code for occupant injuries in heavy transport incidents.

Instructional Notations
Includes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- overturning heavy transport vehicle NOS
- overturning heavy transport vehicle without collision
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 V68
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
