How Vehicle Rollovers and Entrapment Crashes Are Handled
When a vehicle ends up on its side after a crash, emergency responders often need specialized tools to safely remove occupants. This process, known as extrication, is used when doors cannot be opened or when stability is compromised.
Rollovers or side-resting vehicles can increase the risk of injury due to sudden shifts in force and potential roof or side impact. Even low-speed collisions can result in entrapment depending on how the vehicles come to rest.
Rescue teams focus first on stabilizing the vehicle before removing passengers, helping prevent further movement that could worsen injuries or create additional hazards.
