Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle (V15)
The ICD-10 code V15 group identifies injuries sustained by pedal cycle riders when colliding with a railway train or railway vehicle. These codes specify whether the injured person was a driver, passenger, or unspecified cyclist and distinguish between traffic and nontraffic accidents.
This section covers detailed coding of incidents involving pedal cyclists impacted by railway vehicles, including initial, subsequent, and sequela encounters. For example, V15.0 series codes describe pedal cycle drivers injured in nontraffic collisions, while V15.4 codes apply to similar injuries occurring during traffic accidents. The codes also clarify the role of the injured person, such as boarding or alighting a bicycle (V15.3), providing precision for medical coding. Notably, the V15.9 codes cover unspecified pedal cyclists injured in traffic accidents and include synonyms like "Crushed by rolling stock" and "Run over by railway vehicle," helping coders link common injury descriptions to the official ICD-10 classification for railroad-related pedal cycle injuries.

Instructional Notations
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 V15
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
