Another Person Dead and Two Others Injured in 15-Passenger Van Rollover
Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, a 15-passenger Ford Econoline van took the life of an innocent man and injured ten others Saturday, November 10, 2008 when the van lost control causing it to go sideways, eventually resulting in a multiple roll on Interstate 90. There was not alcohol use detected. According to the accident reports, the driver was driving westbound on Interstate 90 when he lost control of the 15-passenger van. Our hearts and prayers go out to the individuals in this van who were probably not aware of the dangers of 15-passenger vans and their tendency to rollover and cause catastrophic injury and fatality.

NTHSA’s research and the research of the automotive manufacturers indicate that there is significant risk of rollover in 15-passenger vans when fully loaded. Often times, 15-passenger van rollover crashes are due to defective tires and inexperienced and untrained drivers.
