What Can Cause a Vehicle to Overturn During a Crash?
Vehicle rollovers can occur when a vehicle loses stability during a collision, sudden maneuver, or change in direction. Vehicle design, speed, steering input, roadway conditions, and contact with another vehicle can all affect whether a vehicle overturns. The final resting position may also provide information about the sequence of events.
Physical evidence can include tire marks, debris, vehicle damage, and the location of each vehicle after the crash. Photos can preserve roadway conditions and damage before the scene is cleared. Witness accounts may provide details about movements immediately before the collision. Vehicle inspections can add further information about the impact and resulting damage.
