Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles are most prone to rollovers?
Taller, narrower vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs, pickups, and vans, are more likely to roll over than lower sedans, especially during sharp turns or sudden maneuvers.
How does seat belt use affect rollover survival?
Seat belts keep occupants in place during a rollover, reducing the chance of being thrown against the roof or ejected from the vehicle, which is one of the biggest factors in rollover injuries and deaths.
What is a "tripped" rollover?
A tripped rollover happens when a vehicle's tires hit a curb, soft shoulder, guardrail, or other object that causes it to tip over, rather than rolling from speed or steering alone. Most rollovers on roads like this happen this way.
What to Do After a Rollover Crash in Birdsboro, PA
If you're involved in a rollover, stay as still as possible until you've checked for pain or injury, since adrenaline can mask early symptoms. If the vehicle is stable and it's safe to do so, turn off the engine and exit carefully, watching for broken glass or sharp metal. Call 911 even if injuries seem minor, since some, like concussions or internal injuries, take time to show. Get checked by a medical provider the same day, and keep records of any treatment. If police respond, ask how to obtain a copy of the crash report for your own records.
