The most common causes of these accidents include driver negligence (inattention or inability to operate the vehicle), defective equipment (tire defects, roof failure, unsafe gas tanks), dangerous roadways (oil spills, broken pavement), poor weather conditions or improper maintenance of the vehicle.
