Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles are most prone to rolling over?
Taller, narrower vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans, tip over more easily than low-slung passenger cars when they lose control or strike an object.
Does wearing a seat belt matter in a rollover?
Yes. A seat belt keeps an occupant in place as the vehicle turns, cutting the chance of being thrown against the roof, out a window, or from the vehicle entirely, which is usually how rollover injuries become severe.
What is a "tripped" rollover?
It happens when a vehicle's tires catch on something, a curb, soft shoulder, or guardrail, and the sudden resistance flips the vehicle rather than letting it slide. This differs from an "untripped" rollover, which can occur on flat pavement during a sharp steering move.
What to Do After a Rollover Crash in Hagerstown, MD
Anyone involved in a rollover should stay still and wait for help if there is any neck or back pain, since movement can worsen a hidden injury. Call 911 even if damage looks minor, and get checked by a medical provider afterward, because some injuries from a rollover don't show symptoms right away. Keep a copy of the incident report once it's available, and photograph the vehicles and scene if it's safe to do so. If you were a passenger or a driver in another vehicle involved, note down what you remember while it's fresh, including the time and conditions.
