Rollover Accidents on Connecticut Highways
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of collisions, often resulting in serious injuries or fatalities due to the violent nature of the vehicle’s motion and the potential for occupant ejection or entrapment. Monday night’s rollover on I-95 in Milford highlights how these accidents can occur suddenly and with devastating consequences—even during nighttime hours when traffic volumes are lower.
Highway conditions, lane changes, excessive speed, and single-vehicle loss of control are all leading causes of rollovers on I-95, which runs through some of the busiest and most traveled areas in Connecticut. In the Milford corridor near Exit 36, curving ramps, merging traffic, and late-night driving contribute to elevated risk.
Emergency crews acted swiftly to stabilize the crash site and care for the injured, preventing further danger to passing motorists. However, victims of rollover crashes often require extensive medical attention and may face long-term physical, emotional, and financial challenges.
Drivers are encouraged to reduce speed, especially in wet or dark conditions, and avoid distractions that can lead to sudden overcorrections—one of the most common triggers of rollover accidents. Maintaining vehicle stability and staying alert are critical to avoiding loss of control on major interstates like I-95.
