Rollover Accidents in Kentucky
Rollover accidents, such as the one involving the mail carrier Jeep, can lead to serious injuries and pose significant risks to drivers and passengers. In Kentucky, these types of accidents are not uncommon and often occur due to various factors, including evasive maneuvers to avoid obstacles or loss of vehicle control.
Statistics indicate that rollover crashes can be particularly dangerous, with a higher likelihood of severe injuries or fatalities compared to other types of vehicle collisions. Factors contributing to rollover accidents may include:
