What Can Happen in a Rollover Crash?
Rollover crashes can occur when a vehicle loses stability and tips onto its side or roof. Factors such as vehicle movement, roadway conditions, speed, steering changes, and contact with another vehicle or object can affect whether a rollover occurs.
People involved in these crashes may experience injuries from the initial impact as well as contact with the vehicle interior. Medical teams may evaluate occupants for head injuries, fractures, and other trauma. Vehicle damage and roadway evidence can also help provide information about how a rollover developed.
