Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "tripped" rollover?
A tripped rollover happens when a vehicle's tires hit a curb, soft shoulder, guardrail or another object that causes it to tip or flip, instead of rolling from speed or steering alone. Many intersection rollovers start this way after a side-impact collision.
Are rollovers more common on certain roads?
Rollovers happen more often on roads with higher speeds, uneven shoulders, or sharp turns, but they can also occur at intersections like this one when a side-impact collision sends a vehicle off balance.
What injuries are common in rollover crashes?
Occupants in a rollover often suffer head, neck and spinal injuries, along with broken bones, especially if they are not properly restrained. Entrapment, as reported in this crash, can also delay treatment and add to the severity of injuries.
What to Do After a Rollover Crash in Menomonee Falls, WI
If you're involved in a rollover crash, stay as still as possible until emergency responders arrive, especially if you feel pain in your neck or back. Call 911 right away and let dispatchers know if anyone is trapped so they can send the right equipment. Even if injuries seem minor, it's wise to get a medical evaluation afterward, since adrenaline can mask pain from a head or spinal injury. Once you're safe, document the scene if you're able, and file a report with local police so there's an official record of what happened.
