Commentary:
Many people I come across would be quick to blame the driver for this accident, when they may not be working off of complete information. In my experience rollovers are caused by two major things, over-correction, and tire blowouts. We hear about tire blowouts all the time on the news, but when people see a rollover accident in the headline, they seem to forget how frequent these accidents can be. Few people know that tires are not one large piece of rubber, but are often two or three that are fused together. If at any point investigators discover that a tire blowout caused this accident, the tire manufacturer may bear some liability for the accident.
