How would you all code this scenario:

78-year-old female tripped and fell in a restaurant hitting her forehead on the floor. How would you code the External Cause of the fall?

1. W01.0XXA-Fall same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling without subsequent striking against object, initial encounter
Or
2. W01.198A-Fall same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling with subsequent striking against object, initial encounter

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
