What Risks Are Associated with Vehicle Rollovers in Colorado?
Rollover crashes are among the more serious types of traffic accidents because of the forces involved and the potential for occupants to be thrown or trapped inside the vehicle. They can occur on open roadways, particularly when a vehicle strikes something, turns sharply at speed, or leaves the paved surface.
Colorado’s rural roads and stretches between towns like Brighton often see higher speeds, which can increase the severity of a crash. Head injuries are a common result of rollover accidents, even when seat belts are worn, because of the way the vehicle moves during the event.
Wearing a seat belt remains one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of serious injury in a rollover. Colorado law requires all front-seat occupants to wear one, and data consistently shows that belted occupants fare significantly better in these types of crashes.
