Horrific. Very fortunate that there weren't any fatalities.

Can't wait to hear the excuse explaining this one.

My grandmother was still driving a car at 98. She should definitely have been stopped years earlier.

I'm fully in support of requiring older drivers to retake a driving test if they are safe drivers then there is no problem but we need to identify the unsafe ones dementia and Alzheimer's can hit it anytime. My Grandfather died in his 60s of what was probably Alzheimer's.
