V72.5Driver of bus injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident

It belongs to category V72 (bus occupant injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle), block V70-V79 (bus occupant injured in transport accident) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V72 (bus occupant injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle), V72.5 is specifically for driver of bus injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident.
