Rollover Accidents in Kansas
A serious crash can happen at almost any time. A rollover accident is one of the most devastating kinds of crashes commonly reported on American roads. The people inside the vehicle run the risk of being ejected and suffering serious injuries when a car overturns. Occupants who are not restrained are at greater risk of being flung from the car and being seriously hurt. This may be why unrestrained parties are involved in most rollover fatalities, making up roughly 75 percent of these deaths. However, statistics show that nearly 33 percent of occupants in a rollover were ejected when while wearing seat belts.
