Today in Maryland (I live in Maryland not Georgia) the weather started as rain, then changed to snow and then sleet. On the 11:00 news they said this wintery mix caused over 150 accidents. How do the news reporters get to work safely? It doesn't matter if you have four wheel drive or an SUV all vehicles slide on ice and sleet. How do the news reporters always get to work safely in a winter storm, snow, blizard, ice, ect. Does the news station do something to ensure their employees get to work safely?

Even though the weather forecasters often recommend that everyone stay at home during severe weather conditions, not everyone follows the suggestion. Anyone who ventures out in severe weather is assuming the risk of being injured in transit. This includes anyone who leaves the house because they consider their job or responsibilities to be so important that it is worth the risk.
I think it's a pretty good bet that news reporters do not always get to work safely, but you wouldn't necessarily learn that the anchorman stalled in standing water or hit a light post on the way to work. And in 2005, I remember that Al Roker was actually blown over by strong winds while reporting on a hurricane, and he hurtled into his cameraman on the air!
