Rollover Accidents in West Virginia
Rollover accidents are particularly dangerous and often lead to severe injuries due to the impact and potential ejection of occupants. In rural areas like Fairview, factors such as narrow roads, sharp curves, and unpredictable terrain can contribute to rollover crashes. Speed, drowsy driving, and poor road conditions are also common causes of these accidents.
In this incident, the early morning crash resulted in a victim being thrown from the vehicle or exiting before emergency responders arrived. Such situations highlight the importance of wearing seat belts and ensuring vehicles are equipped with proper safety features to prevent ejections during rollovers.
Victims of rollover accidents may suffer from serious injuries that require long-term care, including head trauma, spinal injuries, or fractures.
