What is a vehicle rollover? A vehicle rollover is an auto accident in which a car, truck or SUV loses control and rolls. The potential consequences of a vehicle rollover are severe, ranging from head and neck injury to broken bones, contusions, and even death.
Vehicle rollovers are thought to account for about 10,000 auto accident fatalities each year. This number has gained increasing attention from press and public safety officials with news that some SUVs, such as Toyota 4Runners, Honda Passports, Ford Explorers, and other cars, are more prone to rolling over due to a manufacturing defect that removed a crucial safety function from some SUVs. The absence of a "roll bar" in some SUVs leaves passengers exposed to increased danger during an accident.
