How Side-Impact Crashes Can Lead to Vehicle Rollovers
Side-impact crashes can cause a vehicle to roll over, particularly when the impact is forceful. The risk may increase if a vehicle is hit near its center of gravity, causing it to tip and lose stability. Larger vehicles and those with a higher ride height can also be more susceptible to overturning under certain conditions.
Rollover collisions often increase the risk of serious harm because occupants may be subjected to multiple movements inside the vehicle during the rollover sequence. Safety features such as seat belts, side-curtain airbags, and reinforced roof structures are designed to help reduce the risk of severe injury. Factors commonly examined after a rollover include vehicle speed, traffic signal compliance, roadway layout, and the point where contact between vehicles first occurred.
