Rollover Accidents in Pennsylvania
Rollover crashes are among the most severe types of accidents, often resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. These incidents commonly occur due to high-speed travel, sudden maneuvers, or collisions with other vehicles or objects. In some cases, vehicle design and road conditions also play a role.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), thousands of rollover crashes occur statewide each year, with many leading to injuries requiring emergency medical attention. Gas stations, parking lots, and high-traffic intersections can be particularly dangerous, as they often involve sudden stops, turns, and congestion.
Drivers are urged to remain cautious, especially when maneuvering near fuel stations and commercial areas, where pedestrian and vehicle traffic can create unpredictable situations. Proper vehicle maintenance, including tire checks and suspension inspections, can also reduce the risk of rollovers.
