In a crash, two things may happen to drivers: first, they could lose control of their cars and veer off the road; second, they could drive dangerously fast, increasing the chance of a rollover. Although there are additional reasons for rollover accidents, such as collisions with other vehicles or roadblocks, the aforementioned causes are the most frequent causes. However, rollover car accidents have a variety of causes, including:
A DRIVER LOSING CONTROL
A driver losing control of a vehicle is the most frequent cause of a rollover accident. A driver may become disoriented and lose control of the vehicle if they are driving while using a phone, nodding off, or due to another distraction. In addition, a vehicle’s center of gravity may be shifted if it collides with a curb or another object on the road. As a result, the car could tip over onto its side or top due to the forward motion.
RISKY ACTIONS
Aggressive driving, which includes dangerous maneuvers like sharp turns and fast swerving, is another frequent reason for rollovers. These quick motions can cause the vehicle to tip to one side or turn over due to friction between the tires and the road surface. This is especially true for vans, trucks, and vehicles carrying a lot of weight.
MULTI-CAR ACCIDENTS
Rollover incidents most frequently involve a single car; multi-vehicle rollovers are less frequent. However, a vehicle may roll if it is struck side-on and knocked over by the force of the oncoming vehicle. In addition, a vehicle will frequently collide with a railing or another obstacle, creating a ramp and leading to a rollover.
