What Can Cause Rollover Crashes?
Rollover crashes can happen when a vehicle suddenly changes direction, leaves the roadway, or encounters uneven ground. Vans, trucks, and other vehicles with higher centers of gravity may be more likely to tip during certain maneuvers.
Speed, sharp steering, tire problems, and roadway conditions can contribute to a rollover. A driver who loses control may leave the travel lane and encounter a ditch, embankment, or other uneven surface.
Seat belts can help keep occupants inside the vehicle during a rollover and reduce the likelihood of serious injuries. Drivers should maintain a safe speed, remain alert to changing road conditions, and avoid abrupt steering whenever possible.
