Rollover Accidents PDF Print E-mail

Rollover accidents are the deadliest risk facing Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), minivan and truck occupants. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 280,000 rollover accidents are reported each year. These accidents claim more than 10,000 lives annually.

Rollover Accident Injuries

Rollover accident victims can suffer the most serious injuries of any auto accidents—from severe head and body injuries to death.

Causes of Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents are related to a vehicle's stability as it turns. That stability is influenced by the car or truck’s center of gravity and the track width (distance between the left and right wheels). A high center of gravity (like that of a SUV) and narrow track can make a vehicle unstable in fast turns or sharp changes of direction—that increases the odds that it will tip over once it skids sideways.

Most fatal four-wheel drive rollover accidents are single-vehicle accidents that occur on weekend nights. The drivers are most commonly men under age 25 who are often under the influence of alcohol. In three out of four fatal rollovers, the victims were ejected from the vehicle, indicating they were not wearing a seatbelt.

Rollover Accident Risk Rating System

Pressure for a federal rollover standard has been building, but there is currently not one in place. The NHTSA introduced a rollover rating system in 2001 to help predict which vehicles might have a greater likelihood to overturn. Reported on a five-star system, the rollover ratings are based on an engineering analysis of each vehicle's center of gravity and the width between the front tires.
