Frequently Asked Questions
What injuries are common in rollover crashes?
Occupants can suffer head, neck and spinal injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries, especially if they are thrown from the vehicle or not wearing a seat belt.
What causes a vehicle to roll over?
Rollovers usually start when a vehicle drifts off the road, overcorrects, or hits soft shoulder or median terrain at speed, causing it to trip and tip over.
Why are rollover crashes so dangerous?
A vehicle can flip multiple times, and anyone not properly restrained risks being ejected, which greatly increases the chance of serious or fatal injury.
Which vehicles are most prone to rollovers?
Taller, narrower vehicles such as SUVs, pickups, and vans have a higher center of gravity and are statistically more likely to roll over than lower sedans, though any vehicle can roll over under the right conditions.
