What Can Cause a Vehicle to Roll Over?
Rollover crashes can happen for several reasons, including excessive speed, sudden steering movements, striking a curb or guardrail, or losing control while avoiding another vehicle. Sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and vans generally have a higher center of gravity, which can increase the chance of rolling over under certain driving conditions.
After a rollover, investigators often examine roadway conditions, vehicle damage, tire condition, weather, and any available witness statements. They may also review surveillance footage or vehicle data to better understand what happened. These findings can help determine the sequence of factors that contributed to the crash while providing a clearer picture of the circumstances involved.
