3 INJURED IN SUV ROLLOVER IN ELLIS COUNTY

Ellis County Sheriff’s office has reported that three people were injured in a car crash off Interstate 45 early Sunday morning when a sport utility vehicle rolled over off the highway. The victims were airlifted to Parkland Hospital. Their condition was not immediately known.

While the details of this accident have not yet been released, rollover accidents are a common problem, especially when the vehicle involved is an SUV. When these rollover accidents occur, the risk of serious injury or death is extremely high, especially if the roof is crushed and the occupants sustain a head injury. However, there are ways that auto manufacturers can minimize the risk of roof crush when a car or SUV rolls over. The vehicles on the market today can and should be designed to withstand normal, foreseeable impacts such as those caused by auto rollover. Over the years, lawsuits have shown that some auto manufacturers are willing to gamble with the lives of their consumers. Some manufacturers have even performed studies to analyze the risk-benefit analysis and determined that a certain number of fatality accidents and the resulting settlements of those claims would be acceptable if certain safety measurers are not taken.
