Elderly Driver Injures 4 Pedestrians in Hackensack, Minnesota on Saturday
I feel bad for the guy, he tried to stop it. And prayers for the seriously injured person.
Age is a factor, though . I wonder what the statistics are regarding age-related vehicle accidents.
Extra testing and, if needed, restrictions, should be common sense.
Also, family members aren't always heeded by the elderly driver. So a mandatory assessment of all elderly drivers would help.
I couldn’t find much more info on this. Some articles are saying the older man’s vehicle wasn’t in park and “it was a run away vehicle” that rolled into the group of four. But I don’t think that’s true because it’s a flat area, and the parking doesn’t really line up with the intersection where this happed. I still hope that everyone is okay.
Sometimes ya just age out of driving . Families need to step in , I am no spring chicken.
Gramps won’t be driving anymore,and it’s nap time and then some Ice Cream with Cookies
