Why a Vehicle Suddenly Exits a Roadway

A vehicle may suddenly exit a roadway for several reasons unrelated to driver behavior, and caused mechanical issues or roadway conditions. Experts refer to these incidents as run-off-road crashes, and they are among the most common causes of single-vehicle collisions.​

Vehicle and Mechanical Factors

Mechanical problems can directly cause a vehicle to veer off the roadway.

• Tire blowouts or brake failures often result in uncontrollable skidding.
• Power steering or suspension issues can reduce control and stability.
• High-center-of-gravity vehicles, such as SUVs and trucks, are prone to rollover if they leave the paved shoulder at high speeds.​

Environmental and Roadway Conditions

Road and weather factors play a major role in run-off-road crashes:

• Rain, snow, fog, or ice can obscure lane markings and create slippery pavements.
• Poor road design or maintenance, including faded lane lines, narrow shoulders, or steep drop-offs, can make it difficult to correct a lane drift.
• Obstacles on or near the roadside, such as trees, guardrails, and ditches, increase the risk of trauma when a vehicle departs the roadway in a Calistoga injury accident.
