Chad Mancini, 19, of Lynn and an unidentified teenage girl, 15, of Peabody sustained serious injuries in a Tuesday morning accident on the ramp leading from Route 1 S to I-95 N in Peabody. According to The Daily Item of Lynn, Mancini reportedly lost control of his Chevy Malibu while on the ramp when he collided into a guardrail, which spun the vehicle around, causing the car to hit the guardrail a second time, before it rolled over and landed on the side of the roadway.
Both teenagers were rushed to a Boston hospital with serious injuries. Their conditions are unknown at this time. Massachusetts State Police are continuing to investigate the crash and have reported that excessive speed is most likely a contributing factor in the accident, which occurred around 7:30am. Both Mancini and the girl were reportedly not wearing their seatbelts when the crash took place. The ramp had to be shut down for purposes of the investigation and one of the lanes had reopened by 11:00am that morning.
Accidents Involving Rollovers
In a USA Today analysis report by industrial economist Joe Kimmel, sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) were found to have the highest chance of rolling over in an accident and were projected to roll over in 1 out of every 4 accidents these vehicles are involved in. Some models of SUVs are estimated to roll over in 1 out of every 2 accidents they are involved in. Passenger cars have about a 10% or less chance of rolling over in the event of a crash. Minivans were found to be very likely to roll over in an accident compared to most other passenger cars or light trucks.
