Springville, UT (June 03, 2022) – One person was severely injured during an accident that caused a four-wheeler to roll over in Hobble Creek Canyon on Wednesday, June 2nd.
A representative from the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said the incident was reported at about 9:00 p.m. in the area of Meadow Bridge Drive.
The driver of the ATV was transported by paramedics to a local hospital with serious injuries, including possible internal bleeding. Their current condition is unknown.
Additional details were not provided.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
The manufacturers of all-terrain vehicles have known for a long time that the vehicles they make have a high center of gravity, a flaw inherent in their design. This makes them prone to rollovers during accidents and certain other scenarios.
In some situations, the vehicle’s high center of gravity, a badly designed suspension system, and brakes insufficient for the size of the vehicle can contribute to or cause a rollover accident.
In a rollover collision, an ATV overturns onto its side or roof. Rollover accidents often take place when a driver overcorrects after dodging an object in the roadway or due to stopping unexpectedly. Rollover accidents can also be caused by problems with the vehicle’s tires.
SUV rollover accidents often leave their victims with serious injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Damage to the spinal cord
- Injuries to the back and neck
- Broken or fractured bones
- Death
- Paralysis
The severe nature of the above-listed injuries almost always leaves victims with expensive medical bills, an extended recovery period during which they are unable to work, and, in extreme cases, permanent disabilities that could demand a lifetime of care.
