What can cause these incidents?

As we focus on rollover accidents, it is important to point out that there is no single cause of these incidents. There are various ways that rollover accidents occur, including the weather, the type of vehicles involved, the speed of the crash, etc. The Pennsylvania DOT says that the percentage of light trucks, SUVs, and vans involved in rollovers was higher than those involving passenger cars.

  • 5.4% of light truck, SUV, and van crashes were rollovers
  • 3.4 % of passenger car crashes were rollovers

Rollover accidents are amongst the deadliest types of crashes that occur on the roadway. These accidents account for over 10,000 deaths across the country each year. Those who survive these incidents are often left with serious traumatic injuries as well as significant psychological and emotional trauma.

Some of the main causes of a rollover crash include:

  • Operating too fast for conditions
  • Drifting off the roadway
  • Overcorrecting a vehicle

There are times when the gross negligence of a driver leads to a rollover crash. Drivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs and those who are distracted are much more likely to cause serious crashes. When we look at the injuries that result from these incidents, that are often severe. When we consider that many rollovers crash results in the vehicle flipping multiple times, we know the occupants are more likely to sustain the following injuries:

  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Bone fractures and dislocations
  • Loss of or damage to a bodily organ
  • Dismemberment or amputation
  • Other injuries that inhibit a person’s daily activities
  • Significant disfigurement

During the latest reporting year in Pennsylvania, we know that there were over 128,000 total crashes. Out of those, there were more than 80,000 people injured and 1,137 people lost their lives.
