Deadly Rollover Accidents

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that about 10,000 people die as a result of rollover crashes in the United States each year. That number accounts for nearly one-fourth of all traffic accident deaths. Also, there were 260 fatalities and 27,100 injuries involving car accidents in the city of Los Angeles, according to California Highway Patrol's 2007 car accident statistics. In Los Angeles County as a whole, car accidents claimed 712 lives and caused 56,475 injuries during the same year.

Based on this news report, it's hard to tell why this accident occurred. What caused the woman to lose control of the vehicle? Was alcohol or drugs involved? Was speed a factor? Did the woman fall asleep at the wheel? Did this accident involve a vehicle defect or a mechanical malfunction? Did this rollover crash occur as the result of a dangerous or defective roadway? Did another negligent driver run this woman off the road? These are all important questions that need to be answered.
