It said an Idaho driver has a 0.66 percent chance, per 100,000 people, of being in a fatal crash due to snow.
The state of Washington ranked 36th most dangerous for winter driving, as there were six reported fatality car accidents due to the snow, and a 0.083 percent chance of a fatal crash.
Wyoming is the most dangerous state for snow driving, as the report said nine fatality crashes were reported in 2016, leading to a 1.5 percent chance of a fatal accident.
