to roll (over)

Explanation:
Another way to say it, for example: "The pickup rolled over on the highway." "He rolled his Mustang yesterday." It is a tad more "slangish" than "turn over." Hence the term "roll bars," used for protection against a "rollover." Google "rolled pickup" for 77,200 hits. An example from the Amarillo Globe-News: "An Amarillo vehicle theft turned tragic sometime Tuesday morning when a man was killed in a one-vehicle rollover near here."
