The number of people killed in sport/utility vehicle rollovers increased 14 percent in 2002.
"SUV rollovers killed more than 2,400 people last year, a 14 percent increase from 2001, the government said... Nearly two-thirds, or 61 percent, of all SUV fatalities involved rollovers...The statistics help underscore the challenge facing regulators, who have intensified efforts to reduce deaths on the nation's roads."
