Most collisions occur in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog. Reduced visibility and slippery road conditions make it harder for drivers to react quickly and safely, increasing the risk of accidents.
Tornadoes most often occur in the spring an early summer as that is when the collisions of air masses of different temperatures and dew points are most violent and most like to produce severe thunderstorms.
Most fatigue-related accidents tend to occur during the early morning hours, particularly between 12 AM and 6 AM, as well as in the late afternoon, around 2 PM to 4 PM. These times coincide with natural dips in alertness and circadian rhythms, when individuals are more likely to feel drowsy. Additionally, sleep-deprived drivers are at higher risk during these periods, making fatigue a significant factor in accidents.
