Pedestrian injured in a nontraffic accident involving a military vehicle. This includes a person changing a tire on a military vehicle or examining the engine of a broken-down military vehicle off-road.
Example 1: A pedestrian is changing a tire on their privately owned military vehicle parked in their driveway when the jack slips, and the vehicle falls on them, causing a fractured leg., A mechanic is inspecting the engine of a disabled military vehicle on a private farm road when the vehicle rolls forward, striking the mechanic and resulting in a head injury., A person is walking near a military training area when they are struck by a military vehicle during an off-road exercise, resulting in multiple injuries.
Documentation should clearly indicate that the accident occurred off a public highway and involved a military vehicle. The pedestrian's involvement in the accident (e.g., changing a tire, inspecting the vehicle) should be documented. Detailed information about the injuries sustained is essential.
** Excludes: Assault by crashing of motor vehicle (Y03.-), intentional self-harm by crashing of motor vehicle (X82), and transport accidents due to cataclysm (X34-X38).
