Pedal cycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident (V18)
The ICD-10 code V18 series identifies injuries to pedal cycle riders sustained in noncollision transport accidents, which covers a range of incidents where cyclists are hurt without colliding with another vehicle.
This section categorizes injuries by the rider’s role (driver, passenger, or unspecified) and whether the accident occurred in traffic or nontraffic situations. For example, codes like V18.0 and its extensions represent injuries to pedal cycle drivers in nontraffic noncollision accidents, whereas V18.4 codes apply when such injuries happen in traffic. The category also includes specific codes for persons boarding or alighting from a pedal cycle (V18.3). The use of seventh characters (such as initial encounter ‘A’, subsequent encounter ‘D’, or sequela ‘S’) indicates the phase of care. Particularly, the unspecified pedal cyclist codes (V18.2XX and V18.9XX) cover varied incidents like falls caused by pedal cycle breakage or wheels catching in tramlines, and also complex motor vehicle-related noncollision accidents involving losing control or being hit by thrown objects without collision. These detailed codes assist healthcare professionals and coders in precisely documenting the nature and context of pedal cycle-related injuries without collisions.

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.
- fall or thrown from pedal cycle (without antecedent collision)
- overturning pedal cycle NOS
- overturning pedal cycle 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 V18
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
