Garland, UT (June 25, 2022) – Three people are in the hospital following a vehicle rollover on East Garland Road on Saturday, June 25th.
At about 11:00 a.m., Box Elder dispatch received several 911 calls informing them of a vehicle rollover with injuries. Tremonton Fire, Garland Police and Fire, and the Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office all responded to the scene.
Upon their arrival, they extricated one person from the vehicle who was then med-flighted to a regional trauma center.
Two other victims were also hospitalized.
The cause of the accident is under police investigation.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
One of the scariest and most violent kinds of vehicle collisions is one that causes a vehicle to flip over. Crashes involving overturned vehicles are very different from other kinds of crashes that leave the vehicles involved right-side up. There are many factors that could possibly play a role when a vehicle rollover happens, each of which greatly raises the probability of serious injuries.
Velocity is the speed of an object in a given direction and it is a huge factor in rollover crashes because, irrespective of the impact’s origin, it has to be strong enough to make the vehicle overcome the engineering safeguards put in place by the vehicle manufacturers to cause the vehicle to roll.
A rolling automobile also poses a threat to others. A rolling automobile can run into other vehicles, structures, pedestrians, cyclists, or utility poles. They are also able to block traffic and flinging debris into the other traffic lanes. After the car comes to an uncontrolled stop, responders at or near the area can be struck by oncoming traffic attempting to circumvent the wreckage.
Vehicle rollover collisions can be complex in terms of sorting out liability and require the proficiency of a competent and experienced lawyer who has the resources to adequately investigate the event and secure full and fair compensation for your losses.
