Rollover Accidents in Connecticut
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of vehicle collisions, often resulting in severe injuries due to the violent motion and potential for occupant ejection. In urban intersections like Main St and Grove St, rollovers can occur when a vehicle strikes another car at high speed or loses control during a sharp turn.
Factors that commonly contribute to rollover accidents include excessive speed, impaired driving, and overcorrection during emergency maneuvers. Drivers can reduce the risk by slowing down in turns, maintaining safe following distances, and ensuring tires and suspension systems are in good condition.
