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

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

Exactly. My grandpa was a fine driver well into his 80s, and he stopped when he was about 90 because he needed a walker and getting that out of the car was a challenge. I don't think he had a single accident in all the years I remember (something like 20 years).

Some 60 year olds shouldn't drive, and some 90 year olds are some of the best drivers out there.
