FAQ
Q: Why are rollover crashes often more dangerous?
A: Rollovers can involve multiple points of impact and increase the risk of occupants being trapped or seriously injured, especially when vehicles leave the roadway or collide with other objects.
Q: Why do some crashes require extrication?
A: Extrication is needed when vehicle damage prevents occupants from safely exiting on their own. Fire crews use specialized equipment to remove doors or panels while protecting those inside.
Q: What happens during a crash investigation?
A: Investigators review the scene, vehicle positions, and available information to determine how the crash occurred. Findings may take time as details are gathered and reviewed.
