What Can Lead to Rollover Crashes on Highways?
Rollover crashes often happen when a vehicle loses balance and tips onto its side or roof. This can occur due to sudden steering movements, especially at higher speeds.
Vehicle type may also influence the risk. Taller vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs or trucks, are more likely to roll over during sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.
Road conditions can also contribute. Uneven pavement, debris, or slippery surfaces may cause a driver to lose control. In some cases, collisions with other vehicles or roadside objects can trigger a rollover.
