What Should Drivers Know About Rollover Crashes?
Rollover crashes can result in significant vehicle damage and may leave vehicles in unexpected locations, including shoulders or areas outside the roadway. Drivers should slow down when approaching an active crash scene and watch for emergency vehicles and debris. When a vehicle leaves the roadway, motorists should avoid stopping nearby unless instructed to do so.
Maintaining a safe distance can give emergency crews enough room to reach those involved and safely manage the scene. Drivers should also follow temporary traffic controls and remain alert for changing roadway conditions while damaged vehicles are being removed. Giving tow operators, firefighters, and other responders plenty of space can help keep everyone safer while the roadway is being cleared.
