According to a 2010 report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 10,000 people die each year in rollover crashes. The percentage of SUV rollovers is higher than for passenger cars because SUV's and other large vehicles such as semi trucks have a high center of balance. NHTSA statistics show that SUV and semi-truck rollover accidents tend to be much more deadly due to the number of vehicle passengers and/or the type or weight of their cargo.
There are more than 9,000 miles of toll-free roadways, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation. That "free ride" makes Michigan roads more popular with motorists and semi-truck drivers.
Michigan roads also have fewer restrictions on transportation of heavy cargo loads.
Even the most experienced semi-truck drivers who are hauling rigs loaded with cars, logs or other materials can put motorists at increased risk. Over-loaded big rig drivers are less able to brake and maneuver quickly. This can lead to tragic jackknife accidents, rollovers and rear-end collisions.
