Why Are Rollover Crashes So Severe?
Rollover crashes can result in serious or fatal injuries because occupants may be exposed to multiple impacts as a vehicle overturns. These crashes often occur after a driver loses control, leaves the roadway, or overcorrects while attempting to regain control of the vehicle.
Investigators typically examine tire marks, roadway conditions, vehicle damage, and the final resting position of the vehicle to understand how the rollover developed. They may also review speed, visibility, weather conditions, and seat belt use as part of the investigation. Physical evidence from the scene, along with witness statements and vehicle data when available, can help establish the sequence of events. These findings provide a clearer understanding of the circumstances surrounding the crash.
