Rollover accidents are among the most dangerous types of crashes, often resulting in severe injuries due to the violent nature of the impact. These crashes frequently occur when a vehicle loses control due to excessive speed, sharp turns, or collisions with other vehicles.
Highway overpasses and ramps, such as the Hartford Turnpike overpass at I-84, can be particularly hazardous due to merging traffic and sudden stops. Factors like driver distraction, road conditions, or mechanical failures can contribute to the risk of rollovers in these areas.
Authorities urge drivers to remain vigilant, follow posted speed limits, and ensure they have full control of their vehicle when navigating curves or merging onto highways. Taking precautions can help reduce the likelihood of serious crashes.
