What Can Happen When a Vehicle Overturns?
An overturned vehicle can expose occupants to forces that cause a range of injuries. Common problems include cuts, bruises, broken bones, neck pain, back injuries, and head trauma. The risk can increase when a vehicle rolls more than once or when occupants are not properly restrained.
Seat belts help keep people inside the passenger compartment during a rollover. Airbags can provide additional protection by reducing contact with interior surfaces. Properly adjusted restraints are especially important because a person’s position can change quickly during a rollover.
Medical symptoms may not always appear immediately after a serious wreck. Pain, dizziness, headaches, or stiffness can develop later, which is why prompt medical evaluation can be useful after significant vehicle trauma.
