Rollover accidents, while less common, often result in severe outcomes due to the dynamics of such crashes. Busy areas like Oakland St in Manchester can see increased risks during early morning hours due to reduced visibility and lower traffic volumes encouraging higher speeds.
Common causes of rollovers include abrupt steering maneuvers, speeding, and uneven road surfaces. Proper vehicle maintenance, such as ensuring tires are in good condition, can also reduce rollover risks.
Drivers are encouraged to practice defensive driving, maintain safe speeds, and remain cautious, particularly during off-peak hours or on less-lit roads.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a rollover accident, seeking medical attention and consulting with professionals can help address the aftermath, including insurance claims and legal options.
