Hill Country Rollover Accidents

Any type of auto accident is dangerous, but Hill Country rollover accidents are tragic for both passengers and other drivers sharing the road.

Hill Country rollover accidents are especially fierce and are the result of a complex set of circumstances. More than any other type of auto accident, it combines the elements of driver behavior, road conditions, environment, and vehicle operation to create a dangerous scenario for anyone in the vehicle. All of these factors work together and result in what are often the most violent car crashes one can experience.

Any vehicle style can experience a rollover, but some types are more prone to them. SUVs, pickups, and vans have higher centers of gravity. Their narrower wheelbase and height make them particularly susceptible to rollover crashes.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported 35.7 percent of fatal SUV crashes were the result of a rollover accident while only 15.8 percent of passenger car accidents in which the car rolled over resulted in fatalities. This alone indicates a greater risk for SUVs to rollover.
