Safety Tips for Rollover Crashes
Rollover crashes can happen when a vehicle suddenly loses control, strikes an object, or leaves the roadway. SUVs, trucks, and other vehicles with higher centers of gravity can be more likely to roll during certain crashes.
Drivers should maintain a safe speed and avoid sudden steering movements. Wearing a seat belt also protects you during a rollover and can reduce the risk of being thrown from the vehicle.
