Commercial vehicle rollovers can be uniquely complex due to the fact that there are more possible factors the driver might not have control over. That’s why it’s important authorities can investigate everything from cargo shifts to vehicle defects to maintenance issues. If any of that slips through the cracks, the true cause of the crash may remain a mystery.
