What is a "rollover"?

A rollover is an accident where a vehicle flips over onto its side or roof. This can happen if a car or truck loses control, often due to sharp turns, high speeds, or driving on uneven terrain. Rollovers are particularly dangerous because they can cause serious injury to the people inside, especially if they are not wearing seat belts. Some vehicles, such as SUVs, are more prone to rollovers due to their higher centers of gravity. When a rollover happens, the car may come to a stop on its roof or side, blocking the road and making it harder for rescue teams to respond.
