Disastrous Consequences Of Rollover Accidents
Trucks may roll over for multiple reasons. The injuries that happen in rollover accidents are often life-threatening, and at times, fatal. As per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the severity of rollover accidents is second only to head-on collisions. In severe rollover cases, a driver is usually ejected from their automobile or a truck as the mammoth vehicle topples over.
Let’s take a quick look at some of the main causes of rollover accidents:
Stop and report the crash
Stay at the scene of the accident. Call 911 if someone is injured or dead. Otherwise, call the police or state highway patrol. Obtain a copy of your report for insurance company, attorney, and personal records.
Speeding
Most of the fatal rollover accidents happen due to excessive speeding. In fact, as per the studies conducted by the NHTSA, most of the life-taking rollovers had taken place due to a speed limit of 55 miles per hour.
Driving under influence
Most of the fatal truck crashes occur due to intoxicated driving. Even slight intoxication may drastically reduce and blur one’s reflexes and vision. This, in turn, may increase the chances of losing complete control of one’s vehicle.
Rural roads
Roads that have clear barriers and divisions minimize the risk of rollover accidents. In fact, almost 75 percent of fatal rollovers happen in rural areas where there are no safety measures.
