What Causes Vehicles to Roll Over in Crashes?
Rollover crashes can happen when a vehicle loses balance due to sudden turns, impacts, or changes in direction. Striking another object or leaving the roadway can increase the chance of a rollover.
Vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as sport utility vehicles or trucks, may be more prone to tipping during sharp maneuvers. Speed and road conditions can also influence how a vehicle reacts during a crash.
Once a vehicle begins to roll, the risk of injury can increase due to multiple points of impact. Seat belts and proper vehicle control play a role in reducing the severity of these incidents.
