Deadly Rollover Accidents in West Virginia

Princeton, WV - Two Killed in Rollover Crash at E Martin St & US-460Being involved in a rollover is a traumatic experience, and there’s always a much greater chance of being thrown from the vehicle and suffering life-changing injuries. It should come as no surprise that the majority of rollover deaths involve unrestrained vehicle occupants. The number of this type of accident is on the rise across the country. This spike is partly because SUVs, pickup trucks, and other top-heavy vehicles are becoming more popular. Rollovers are only a small part of all car accidents in the country, but they are responsible for nearly 30 percent of all road deaths. Three out of every four rollover accidents involve only one vehicle.
