Icy road conditions are considered a factor in the rollover.

People think SUVs are safer (for them, stuff everyone else) but not only are they more likely to kill other road users, they are also more likely to roll over and crush their drivers.
Several studies conducted over the years have shown that people who drive SUVs and CUVs will take more risks than others and tend to believe that being behind the wheel of a large all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle means they can drive in bad weather at the same speed they do in clear, dry conditions.
Sadly, ice is ice and doesn't discriminate.
Some thoughts on False sense of security when driving and in particular with SUVs.
More on this site about the topic.
The marketing job for SUVs is second to none and people fall for it. But I digress.
