A Sinton man was killed this week when his SUV rolled over on U.S. 281 near Pleasanton, ejecting him from his passenger seat. Frank Sauderman, 86, died at University Hospital on Wednesday, a day after the wreck.
The 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer was traveling south on the highway about 4 p.m. Tuesday when it veered off the roadway less than half a mile outside of Pleasanton, according to the Department of Public Safety. The driver overcorrected, causing the vehicle to roll over. Sauderman was ejected. It was not immediately clear if he was wearing a seatbelt. The driver, Barbara Sauderman, wasn’t injured, DPS said. No other vehicles were involved.
This Blog discusses roof strength, roof crush, and rollovers frequently. For example, I have posted previously regarding roof crush here, here, and here. If someone you know was injured or killed as the result of a rollover, immediately contact a competent attorney for advice. It is extremely important to do this quickly.
