Vehicle Overturned in Philadelphia
The crash took place around 4:15 am on a Sunday morning. It happened near the intersection of West Girard and Lancaster avenues. No immediate information was available on the driver's status or the cause of the accident. Images from reporting news organizations showed the overturned vehicle lying on the passenger side. The windshield was smashed out with airbags deployed in both front seats.
What Causes Overturned Vehicles
Many factors can contribute to a vehicle overturning. Often, this is due to the driver losing control at a high rate of speed. If the driver took a turn too quickly or too tightly, it can shift the center of gravity, causing the vehicle to overturn. In some situations, the driver may overcorrect or swerve hard to avoid a car or something in the roadway, causing the loss of traction between the wheels and the roadway.
In these accidents, police will investigate to determine the cause of the crash. Eyewitness reports, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction services can help to identify what happened. That then makes it clear who is at fault.
