Rollover Crashes in Pennsylvania
Monday’s rollover crash in Reading underscores the significant risks associated with this type of collision. Rollovers often result in severe damage to the vehicle and a higher likelihood of injury due to the violent motion and potential for occupant ejection. Urban streets like N 6th St can present added hazards, including tight lanes, on-street parking, and sudden stops, all of which can contribute to a loss of vehicle control.
Common causes of rollover crashes in Pennsylvania include speeding, sharp turns at high speeds, collisions with other vehicles, and impacts with curbs or roadside objects. Even at lower speeds, a vehicle with a high center of gravity can tip over if struck or maneuvered abruptly. Safety advocates emphasize the importance of wearing seat belts at all times, as they greatly reduce the risk of serious injury in rollover situations.
