Car Accidents in Utah
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of accidents and occur more frequently than many people realize. In Utah, rural and mountain roads—like those found in Ogden—are particularly susceptible due to higher speeds and curves. According to state traffic data, rollovers account for a disproportionate number of serious injuries and fatalities despite making up a smaller share of overall accidents.
Understanding why rollovers happen can help prevent them. Here’s what to know about common causes:
- Speeding on Curved Roads: Sharp turns at high speeds increase the chance of a vehicle flipping, especially SUVs and trucks with a higher center of gravity. Even posted speed limits may be unsafe during rain or snow.
- Single-Vehicle Loss of Control: Many rollovers happen when a driver veers off the roadway and overcorrects. This quick steering adjustment can lead to a vehicle tipping and rolling over multiple times.
- Overloaded Vehicles: Extra weight affects vehicle stability. Drivers carrying heavy cargo or too many passengers—especially in vans or trucks—face higher rollover risks during abrupt movements.
- Tire Blowouts or Poor Maintenance: Worn tires, underinflation, or mechanical issues can cause sudden loss of control. Regular maintenance is essential, especially when traveling in areas with changing terrain.
- Collisions With Barriers or Ditches: If a vehicle strikes a guardrail, median, or roadside ditch at an angle, the momentum can lift it off the ground and cause a rollover. These accidents can be violent and unpredictable.
