Rollover Accident Dangers

Rollover accidents are most often associated with sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and large commercial trucks, but they can occur no matter what type of vehicle you drive. SUVs generally attract the most attention related to rollovers because they are taller than most passenger cars, which places their center of gravity higher off the ground. Lifted pickup trucks and other vehicles that ride high are also at increased risk for rollover accidents. These types of vehicles are common on roadways throughout Northern Colorado.

When a vehicle that rides high turns too quickly, the center of gravity may shift beyond the wheelbase, causing the vehicle to roll. Unfortunately, most passenger vehicles are not built to withstand a rollover. As such, it is not uncommon for a vehicle’s roof to collapse during a rollover, and serious injuries and death may result.

While rollovers can happen as the result of taking a turn too fast, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that a majority of such accidents are caused by “tripping.” Tripping occurs when a vehicle’s wheels encounter debris or uneven terrain or they are forced off course by a collision with another vehicle. The driver is often unable to correct in time, and the vehicle may leave the roadway at high speed. If it hits a median or guardrail, the vehicle may roll.
