If the car hits another car or something that is stationary it is a collision. It doesn't matter how bad the weather was. (Perhaps continuing to drive was ill advised.) Bending a wheel on a pot hole is treated as collision.
Comprehensive is when your car is damaged as a result of something that was not a collision, typically includes theft, vandalism, tree limb, hail, etc. Something other than another car that hits and damages your car is covered by comprehensive. A bird strike or a rock thrown up cracking the windshield for example.
Spinning out into a curb is going to be a collision.
