I would like to see an analysis of the countries in which the drivers involved in Yellowstone vehicle accidents obtained their licenses, because it could align in an explanatory way with the influx of foreign visitation, especially from countries like the People's Republic of China where individually owned autos are still quite rare. It would also be interesting to see these numbers broken down by season because of the likely correlation with road conditions and (domestic and/or foreign) driver inexperience in the "slick" seasons.

EVERY winter I see vehicles that have gotten stuck in deep roadside snow; these vehicles invariably include over-snow Mattrack-equipped multi-passenger coaches in the interior, and tire-equipped individual and commercial vehicles in the Northern Range. I suspect most of these slide-offs don't result in significant injuries or even much by way of vehicle damage because they probably are mostly "soft landings." But they sure can ruin the passengers' day!
