A Harrisburg rollover car crash is just what it sounds like—an accident in which the car rolls over. It is one of the most dangerous types of car wrecks and has a much higher fatality rate than other types of crashes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 2010 fatalities from rollover accidents accounted for more than a third of all deaths from passenger vehicle accidents.

Many events can lead to a rollover crash, such as:

• Swerving and losing control of the vehicle
• Losing control of a vehicle on a slippery surface
• Being hit in the side by another vehicle
• Driving a vehicle into an embankment
• Driving too fast for the weather and road conditions

The likelihood that one of the events listed above will cause a Harrisburg car wreck depends on how fast the vehicle is moving and how the driver handles the vehicle. If the car is moving at a high rate of speed and the driver turns sharply in one direction and then overcorrects by turning sharply in the opposite direction, a rollover is likely to occur.
