Rollover Accidents in New Hampshire
Rollover accidents, like the one that occurred on I-93 near Exit 3 in Windham, often result in severe injuries due to the violent nature of these crashes. Highways such as Interstate 93, a major corridor through New Hampshire, see frequent traffic and higher speeds, both of which can increase the likelihood of rollover incidents. Factors like sharp turns, sudden lane changes, or collisions with other vehicles can trigger a rollover, particularly for vehicles with higher centers of gravity, such as SUVs or trucks.
Common causes of rollover accidents include speeding, overcorrecting steering, and hitting roadside obstacles or uneven surfaces. Weather conditions, such as icy or wet roads, can also increase the risk of losing control, particularly in New England’s colder months. Additionally, driver distraction or fatigue can contribute to errors that lead to rollovers on busy highways.
After a rollover accident, it is crucial for victims to receive an immediate medical evaluation, as these crashes often result in head injuries, spinal trauma, or internal injuries that may not be immediately apparent. Emergency responders typically secure the scene to prevent further hazards and work quickly to extricate anyone trapped inside the vehicle.
For New Hampshire drivers, practicing safe driving habits—such as maintaining appropriate speeds, avoiding distractions, and being cautious in adverse weather—can reduce the risk of rollover accidents. However, even the most cautious drivers can be affected by the actions of others on the road.
