Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a vehicle roll over in a crash?
A rollover usually happens when a vehicle's momentum shifts sideways faster than its tires can hold the road, usually after a sharp turn, a side impact, or when a tire catches an edge or soft shoulder, causing the body to tip and flip.
Do certain roads see more rollovers than others?
Rollovers are more common at rural intersections and on roads with narrow shoulders or uneven edges, where a vehicle can leave the pavement or get struck at an angle that pushes it off balance.
What injuries are typical in a rollover crash?
Occupants can suffer head, neck, and spinal injuries, along with broken bones, as the vehicle's cabin strikes the ground repeatedly and people are thrown against the roof or doors, especially if they are not properly restrained.
