Rollover Ends with Two Injured

Two people were taken to the hospital via Life Flight after their vehicle was involved in a rollover accident on Highway 35 south of Highway 6. The single-vehicle accident happened Tuesday at approximately 6:40 a.m. Alvin Police responded to the call to find a silver sedan in the median. Investigators said the vehicle had rolled at least once and landed in an upright position with the trunk open. Two accident victims were sent to the hospital by Life Flight. Officials say that they are uncertain if any other vehicles may have been involved, pending further investigation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated in a recent report that nearly three of every four rollovers that result in a fatality happen on a rural road with a posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour or more. Excessive speeding over the posted speed limit was cited as a major contributing factor in approximately 40 per cent of all vehicle rollovers that ended in a fatality. While only about 3 per cent of all crashes are rollovers, rollovers accidents account for one third of all vehicle-passenger deaths across the U.S. Most people think that rollover accidents are fairly limited to vehicles such as SUV’s and other types of large vehicles with a high center of gravity. While SUV’s are more likely than other vehicles to roll over, the truth of the matter is that any vehicle can potentially be involved in a rollover accident. It does not matter if you are driving an SUV, a tractor trailer or a passenger vehicle a rollover represents a complete loss of control of the vehicle and the potential for very serious injuries and even death.
