Rollover Crashes in New York
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of vehicle accidents, often resulting in severe injuries due to the force of impact and the risk of occupant ejection. Factors contributing to rollover accidents include excessive speed, abrupt steering maneuvers, and road conditions.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), rollover crashes account for a significant percentage of severe traffic injuries and fatalities. Vehicles with higher centers of gravity, such as SUVs and trucks, are more prone to rollovers, particularly when making sharp turns or traveling on uneven road surfaces.
Drivers are advised to maintain safe speeds, avoid sudden lane changes, and ensure proper tire maintenance to reduce the risk of rollovers. Investigators will continue to examine the factors involved in this crash.
