Why Cars Overturn in Accidents
Various factors contribute to cars overturning, with the primary cause being sharp turns at high speeds. In some situations, the car can “trip,” meaning it jumps a curb or gets caught on soft pockets of soil. That can cause the vehicle to roll onto its side or roof if there’s enough force.
Other factors include oversteering, in which a driver turns too far too tightly, causing the inside tires to lift off the ground. Also note that some vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as pickup trucks, SUVs, and tractor-trailers, are more prone to this incident.
