Rollover Accident Statistics

A rollover accident occurs when an automobile is hit from behind and flips over. In others, a powerful rear or frontal impact is all that is necessary to create one of these dangerous outcomes. On the other hand, a rollover crash may inflict more injuries on those inside the car, especially if the airbags do not deploy correctly or their seat belt snaps.

In 2019, rollover collisions claimed the lives of 20% of automobile occupants, 38% of pickup truck occupants, and 39% of SUV occupants. There were 6,358 rollover fatalities in 2019, a 41.3% decrease from 10,825 rollover fatalities in 2005.

Rollovers are a particularly hazardous form of automobile accident. Force is exerted on the car from all sides during a rollover, increasing the number and severity of injuries within the vehicle. Driver and passenger ejections can also occur in rollover incidents. This, too, contributes to a high risk of catastrophic injuries.
