    Having been a police crash investigator for 14 years I can tell you that the weather does play a part in some motor vehicle collisions. Saying that you should drive to the conditions is correct but people simply don't; just like you're not supposed to speed or drink and drive. In a lot of cases people blame the weather when in reality it's their driving skills and experience that are lacking.

    Head trauma and the resulting brain injuries are one of the leading causes of death and disability in the industrialized world. In the United States, more than 50,000 people die every year as a result of traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, it is estimated that a head injury occurs every seven seconds, and hospital emergency rooms treat 1 million people for brain injuries every year.
