Although rollovers are the least common type of auto accidents they can be extremely dangerous and have a high fatality rate due to the severe nature of the accident. Most rollovers occur in sport utility vehicles (SUVs) whose chance of rollover is 2 to 3 times that of a regular passenger car. An estimated 90% of rollovers occur when a vehicle leaves the pavement and travels onto the shoulder or the road into a ditch or ravine. |
