Nebraska motorists may have heard about a truck accident on May 19 in Georgia that claimed the lives of five individuals. Police believe the truck driver may have fallen asleep prior to the fatal wreck.
Holidays high on the list of large number of car wrecks
Not surprisingly, two factors that contribute significantly to the volume of motor vehicle accidents in Nebraska and other states are high traffic volume and the consumption of alcohol. On particular days of the year, these two factors combine to result in a higher number of traffic accidents than other days of the year.
Safe SUV driving reduces risk of rollover accidents
Sport utility vehicles have a greater chance of rolling over in an accident due to fact that their height places more weight at a higher level than smaller vehicles. Awareness of the differences between driving an SUV and a smaller vehicle can help Nebraska drivers, especially those new to this type of vehicle, operate an SUV safely and potentially avoid rollover accidents.
Rollover accidents in Nebraska
Rollover car accidents in Nebraska can result in serious injuries that may even be life-threatening. Because many rollover accidents are single-vehicle accidents, passengers are at the most risk for becoming involved in an incident that they cannot control. For example, the injuries could potentially include a spinal cord injury, traumatic brain trauma and damage to internal organs.
