A study by MoneyGeek based its findings on federal crash and travel data

Snow, ice, sleet, slush and poor visibility make for some hazardous Michigan driving conditions. 

A new study by MoneyGeek compared crash data fkom 2020–2023 to see how dangerous winter driving is in each state by comparing deaths, miles driven, and driver safety.  
Michigan ranked first. 

Bill Knapp frequently drives between Lansing and Grand Rapids and is familiar with how dangerous it can be. 

"apparently all the highways are race tracks these days. People are in a hurry, not only to get someplace, but to get there before you.” 

Pennsylvania and Ohio take the second and third spots. 

Not surprising, Hawaii was found to be the least dangerous for winter driving.
