What Causes Rollover Crashes?
Each year, thousands of individuals are injured in rollover crashes. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that rollover accidents are one of the most fatal forms of car or truck accident. Rollover accidents happen for many reasons, including:
-
Defective vehicle design: Vehicles that have especially high centers of gravity are more likely to roll over in an accident. Certain SUVs, vans and pickup trucks are top-heavy, making them less stable
-
Excessive speed: Driving at high rates of speed can force drivers to have to jerk the wheel to avoid a collision, resulting in a rollover
-
Poor weather conditions: Ice, snow, and rain reduce a vehicle’s stability, making rollovers more likely
-
Trips in the roadway: when a car or SUV hits what’s known as a “trip” in the roadway, such as a guardrail, curb, or median, the vehicle can become airborne or roll over, especially if it was traveling at highway speeds
-
Sudden jerking: Drivers who are forced to suddenly jerk the steering wheel to avoid a person or object in the road can cause their vehicles to roll, especially if the vehicle is top-heavy, like an SUV
