Car Accidents in Ohio
Ohio sees thousands of traffic accidents every year, with a notable percentage involving serious injuries. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, in recent years, rollover crashes have accounted for a significant portion of fatal and severe injury accidents across the state. Many of these crashes result from speeding, driver impairment, or loss of control.
Understanding the risks associated with rollover accidents can help drivers remain vigilant on the roads. Here are some common causes of rollover crashes:
- Excessive Speeding – Traveling at high speeds, especially on curves, significantly increases the risk of a rollover. The faster a vehicle is moving, the harder it is to maintain control in emergency situations.
- Sudden Steering Maneuvers – Quick and sharp turns can cause a driver to lose control, leading to a rollover, particularly in SUVs and trucks with a higher center of gravity.
- Road Conditions – Wet, icy, or uneven roadways make it more likely for a vehicle to tip over, especially when combined with other risk factors such as speeding or distracted driving.
- Multi-Vehicle Collisions – Accidents involving multiple cars can cause severe impacts that lead to rollovers. Vehicles struck on the side are especially vulnerable to flipping.
- Tire Blowouts – A sudden tire failure can cause a driver to lose control, increasing the likelihood of a rollover, particularly at highway speeds.
