If a patient received a blow to the head by a gooseneck trailer would you code this under E Code auto section or striking head against object?

Thank you

:o
 
I've always been hesitant to use an e code from the auto section unless the vehicle is actually in motion/use at the time. Assuming the person walked into the trailer while it was stationary, I'd use a hit an object code.
 
Head trauma

Was thinking the same thing but then read trailer is the same thing as an auto because it can be pulled by an auto.

The trailer was stationary no indication that it was being pulled by another vehicle.
