Abstract

•We explore the joint effect of weather and lighting conditions on injury severities.•Data from single-vehicle accidents in Scotland are statistically analyzed.•We estimate zero-inflated hierarchical ordered models with correlated disturbances.•Separate models are developed for various weather and lighting combinations.•Determinants of injury severities are found to vary across various combinations.
