Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles are most prone to rollovers?
Taller, narrower vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs, pickups and vans, are more likely to roll over than low-profile passenger cars, though any vehicle can roll under the right conditions.
How does seat belt use affect rollover survival?
Seat belts keep occupants from being thrown around the cabin or ejected during a rollover, which greatly improves the odds of walking away with minor injuries.
What is a "tripped" rollover?
A tripped rollover happens when a vehicle slides sideways and its tires catch on something, like a curb, soft shoulder or guardrail, causing it to flip.
What to Do After a Rollover Crash in Llano, TX
If you're involved in a rollover, stay as still as possible until you can assess whether you're hurt, since adrenaline can mask pain or injury. If it's safe to do so, turn on hazard lights and move away from traffic lanes while waiting for help. Even if you feel fine, a medical evaluation afterward is worth doing, since injuries like concussions or internal bruising don't always show symptoms right away. Make sure to get the names and badge numbers of responding officers and ask how to obtain the official crash report once it's filed, since that document can matter later for insurance or medical follow-up.
