Deadly Rollover Crashes in Nevada
A rollover crash can be completely devastating, and few types of accidents are as traumatic as a rollover. Only 2 percent of reported collisions nationwide involve these types of collisions, but they are responsible for more than 10 percent of deadly collisions on average. The majority of rollover deaths involve unrestrained passengers. In many cases, these accidents are caused by the actions of reckless drivers, but in some situations, they can also result from inclement roadway conditions.
A deadly car accident can impact you like nothing else. Any collision can be devastating, but when someone close to you is killed, it can be even harder to handle.
