Rollover Accidents in Connecticut

Rollover crashes, like the one on Route 72, are among the most severe types of motor vehicle accidents, often resulting in critical injuries or fatalities. These incidents are typically caused by factors such as high speeds, sharp turns, or loss of control on the roadway. Connecticut has seen a steady number of rollover accidents, particularly on highways with heavy traffic or challenging conditions.

Safety experts emphasize the importance of driving cautiously, maintaining proper speeds, and ensuring that vehicles are in good mechanical condition. Wearing seatbelts and avoiding distractions can also significantly reduce the risk of injury in a rollover event.
