What Investigators Review in Rollover Intersection Crashes
Intersection crashes that result in a vehicle overturning are often examined for impact angle, speed, and right-of-way movements. Side impacts can sometimes cause a vehicle to roll, especially when one vehicle strikes another at moderate or high speed.
Investigators typically review roadway evidence, debris patterns, and vehicle damage to determine how the collision unfolded. Traffic signal timing and driver visibility may also become part of the investigation.
Rollover crashes can increase the risk of serious injury because occupants may experience multiple impacts during the event. Emergency crews often secure the vehicle carefully before removing injured occupants and reopening the roadway.
