We are seeing a trend in our area where semi trucks are tipping over due to the high winds. I am able to find the accident code for the external cause codes, but I'm thinking that there should also be something that indicates that it is due to the windy conditions, which I am unable to find. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this, or is it not needed?

Thanks so much!

Since it was not an auto accident as a collision but due to a force of nature then I would look under the force of nature.. maybe the X37.8— codes? Or the X39.8–
