IN SANTA MONICA CALIF - 1.5 HRS NORTH FROM ME, AN 86 YR OLD MAN STEPPED ON THE GAS AND PLOWED INTO A CROWDED FARMER'S MARKET FILLED WITH PEOPLE SHOPPING AND CRASHED HIS BUICK KILLING 9 PEOPLE INCLUDING A 3 YR OLD GIRL, AND INJURED 40 MORE.
THE MAN WAS RELEASED AND APOLOGIZED, SAID HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO HIT THE BRAKE.
HE HAS A HISTORY OF PRIOR RECENT ACCIDENTS.
SHOULDN'T THE ELDERLY BE TESTED REGULARLY AND
BE LIMITED TO CERTAIN DRIVING AFTER 70 -75 YRS OF AGE? I KNOW 50 PEOPLE WHO MIGHT THINK SO.
