Rollover Crashes in New Mexico

When a car rolls over in the event of a crash, it can easily result in much more serious injuries. These types of collisions have only become more common with time, and some attribute this increase to the rising popularity of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and other top-heavy vehicles. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 2 percent of reported crashes each year involve overturned vehicles. However, these types of crashes result in almost 10 percent of national roadway fatalities. The majority of these deaths involve unrestrained occupants due to the fact that rollovers have a high chance of causing a passenger to be ejected from the vehicle.
