What Can Lead to Rollover Crashes
Rollover crashes can happen when a vehicle loses balance or control, often during sudden turns or impacts. Vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs or vans, may be more likely to roll if stability is disrupted.
Speed and road layout can also influence how these crashes occur. Sharp curves, uneven surfaces, or sudden steering movements may increase the risk of a vehicle tipping over.
Staying properly restrained can reduce the chance of being thrown inside or outside the vehicle during the crash. It is essential to encourage seatbelt use, which can affect outcomes in rollover incidents.
