Google firstcoastnews jacksonville- story elderly woman dies in sports car

 

I'm scared of old women drivers and I stay away from them. One time I saw one try to change lanes without looking for other cars. She plowed into another car on the road, which in turn plowed into a parked car, which in turn plowed into a newsstand. So that's 3 cars and a newsstand wrecked in one accident. And this was in daylight under good driving conditions.

 

Why in Gods name was she still driving?????? Sorry, but all of us will reach a time, (if we're lucky) when we just shouldn't be behind the wheel any longer...and in a Challenger...not the best choice for a senior citizen considering it's dimensions and lack of visibility. The 40 something son should have known better...........Sad story none the less.......

 

Sad but true... gotta agree with BLK6050...

Not such a bad guy to agree with though... had the sense to go for the black one...

 

That story would almost be funny if it weren't actually true.

 

Wait a minute. She was 90? And her son was "40 something"? Hmmmmm....the kid came along a little late in life....

 

haha yeah i was like WTF!? when i read that too! this is the only time where i don't care about the car. sux the old lady died. hope the son pulls through!!!

 

well he could of been 49 if it matters... R.I.P.

 

THAT I SAD TO HERE MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY....

 

I hope i go the same way when i am 90... just no one else in the car
