Seems there is a lot of crashing into buildings going on lately. Why? Too many drunks on the road? Defective brakes? Seems rather unusual. There should be some investigation into the causes.

Driver is 76 years old, eh? Gosh I’m so surprised.

Cars somehow always malfunction with older folks.

>_<

Had a lady of about 75 years drive into the church parking lot last winter. She meant to park nosed up to a storage shed. She slowed down, then stepped on the gas instead of the brake. Drove smack-dab into the shed.

I’m a “seasoned citizen”, so I can say this: I think that people should get re-tested at the DMV for vision, hearing, reactioin time, etc., when they reach a certain age, say 75, maybe even younger. We don’t recognize it when our faculties start to slow down. I know some folks in their 90’s who are still driving, and it scares the heck out of me!

Nothing wrong with a lead foot grandma but she needs to point the car in the right direction first.

She saw the sign that said “Prescription Pick Up Drive Thru”, and took it a little too literally.

The woman who crashed into the Publix on Belle Terre Parkway was charged with careless driving Tuesday...

"Careless" doesn't quite cover it.

Another elderly driver crashinf into a storefront. They need to really check people who are older and especially if they are on a lot of medications.
