What Factors Can Contribute to Rollover Crashes on High-Speed Interstates?
Rollover crashes are among the most serious types of roadway collisions because they can expose vehicle occupants to multiple points of contact during a single sequence of movement. These crashes may occur when a vehicle leaves its lane, strikes a barrier, encounters uneven terrain, or makes a sudden steering maneuver at highway speeds.
Vehicle design can also influence rollover risk. Sport utility vehicles and other taller vehicles generally have a higher center of gravity than passenger cars, which can make them more susceptible to overturning under certain circumstances. Seat belt use remains one of the most effective ways to reduce the likelihood of ejection during a rollover. Investigators usually review roadway conditions, vehicle damage, witness statements, and available electronic data to better understand how a rollover developed and what factors may have contributed.
