A further look at utility vehicle rollovers.

The current study is a follow-up to a 1981 report by Reinfurt, Li, Popkin, O'Neil, Burchman, and Wells in which the relative involvement in rollover crashes of utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and passenger cars was investigated. (see B-19876). This follow-up study offered the opportunity to examine more recent crash data for North Carolina (1979-82) that included several additional utility vehicle models for which data were previously inadequate or nonexistent. These include the Jeep CJ-7, Ford Bronco 1978-82, and the International Scout. (The Toyota Land Cruiser crash data continued to be rather sparse.) Also, this report estimated vehicle-specific mileage exposure from newly available data.
