If you look closely you'll see that the guy crossing the street almost made it.
He seemed to hear the crash and began to run, but just before he got to the curb the SUV caught him.

As for saying anyone over 65 should be re-tested yearly, you people are stero-typing big time.

So what if it said the driver of the PT crusier was 75 all we see the the crash and nothing else.
Only the police report knows what happened and even then it's probably wrong.

Everyone runs yellow/red lights, speeds, develops bad habits, etc........

I think everyone should be retested every 5 years!!!

A 75 year old isn't street racing and killing people every day like 20 year olds!
2 weeks ago we had something like 6 deaths due to street racing in the span of 2 days,
all killed were in there 20's and in the cars.
The accidents were on major streets with lots of pedestrian traffic too, luckly no pedestians were injured.





Perhaps you missed the news (probably did since it was in CA) a while back when an elderly man drove into a Farmers' Market, killing around 20 people and injuring many more I believe. You have no idea how dangerous elderly people are unless you actually drive with one. Obviously not all are, but a large enough percentage to warrant annual testing.
