Why Rollover Crashes Often Lead to Serious Injuries
Rollover crashes can be especially dangerous because they expose occupants to multiple points of force during a collision. Even when rescue crews are not needed, people inside the vehicles may still experience injuries related to sudden movement, broken glass, or roof damage.
Intersections are common locations for rollover crashes because vehicles may strike each other from the side while turning or crossing lanes of traffic. Larger vehicles, higher speeds, and abrupt steering movements can also increase the likelihood of a rollover after impact. Safety restraints and vehicle stability systems often play an important role in reducing the severity of injuries during these crashes.
