Vehicle Rollover Accidents in Texas
Rollover accidents are among the most dangerous types of crashes, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. In Texas, high-speed roadways and sharp exit ramps, such as those found along State Highway 130, can contribute to rollover crashes, especially when vehicles lose control due to sudden lane changes, wet roads, or mechanical failures.
Some of the most common causes of rollover accidents in Texas include excessive speed, abrupt steering maneuvers, tire blowouts, and collisions with other vehicles. SUVs and trucks are particularly susceptible to rollovers due to their higher center of gravity.
To prevent these types of accidents, drivers should maintain a safe speed, avoid sudden lane changes, and ensure their tires are properly maintained. Wearing a seatbelt at all times significantly reduces the risk of serious injury in the event of a rollover crash.
