Deadly Rollover Crashes in Texas

Rollover crashes can result in catastrophic injuries that are particularly devastating. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) findings, these collisions only make up about 3 percent of all documented auto crashes in the country. Despite this small figure, rollovers contribute to nearly 33 percent of national roadway fatalities. The majority of these deaths involve unrestrained vehicle passengers. Almost 75 percent of rollovers involve a single vehicle, with two or more vehicles being involved in the remaining 25 percent. These crashes can result from inclement roadway conditions or general negligence on the driver's part. 

A deadly car accident can change your life in an instant. No one ever plans to lose someone close to them in a deadly crash, but unfortunately, deadly car crashes are common across Texas.
