Rollover accidents, such as the one on the I-264 East Ramp to I-65 North, can happen when drivers lose control of their vehicles, often due to high speeds, sharp turns, or unfavorable weather conditions. In the case of this particular crash, the vehicle involved may have veered off its path or experienced mechanical failure, but the exact cause is yet to be determined. Rollover accidents, though often less frequent than other types of crashes, can lead to severe consequences depending on the speed and circumstances of the incident.
