What Factors Can Increase the Severity of a Rollover Crash?
Rollover crashes are among the most serious types of roadway collisions because they can expose vehicle occupants to multiple points of force during a single sequence. These crashes may occur when a vehicle strikes another vehicle, a curb, a median, or another object, causing it to tip onto its side or roof.
Vehicle design, speed, road surface conditions, and the angle of contact can all influence the likelihood of a rollover. Larger vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs and trucks, generally face a greater risk of rolling over than lower-profile passenger cars. Proper seat belt use can help reduce the risk of severe injury during these incidents by keeping occupants securely in place. Investigators often review vehicle positions, roadway evidence, and damage patterns to better understand how a rollover developed and the sequence of movements that followed.
