A Full Investigation Is Underway
The news reports showed a white vehicle lying on its hood and roof, overturned in the center of the roadway. It is not clear what caused the accident. There were also no initial reports about the injuries to anyone involved. Police are investigating to determine what led to the incident.
Why Cars Flip Over
It takes a lot of speed and momentum for a vehicle to flip over. That is not always the case, though it is a common misconception. Most of the time, cars flip when side-to-side forces and momentum create a downward pull from gravity. That causes the vehicle's center of gravity to shift past the wheels.
A common cause of this is vehicle tripping. That means something in the vehicle’s path created just enough of an obstacle to cause the wheels to trip over it, launching it off the ground. Other times, a vehicle will flip when the driver loses control at a high rate of speed. All that extra energy can propel the vehicle forward.
