Rollover Accidents in Maine
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of vehicle accidents and often result in severe injuries or fatalities. These types of accidents frequently occur due to speeding, sudden maneuvers, driver distraction, or poor road conditions. SUVs and trucks, due to their higher center of gravity, are particularly prone to rolling over in high-impact collisions.
In crashes where entrapment occurs, the risk of serious injury increases as victims may suffer from head trauma, spinal injuries, or internal bleeding. Emergency responders must act quickly to extricate individuals from wreckage and provide immediate medical care.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution on highways, maintain safe speeds, and remain alert to reduce the risk of losing control of their vehicles.
