@nbcphiladelphia: A woman was killed and seven others were hurt after an elderly driver crashed into a restaurant in Ocean County, New Jersey, police said. On Saturday, Sept. 19, at 11:12 a.m., a 93-year-old woman was attempting to park a 2014 Buick Encore in front of Meg’s Grill on 1401 Grand Central Avenue in Lavallette, New Jersey. Police said the woman pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, causing the SUV to rapidly accelerate into the outdoor dining area and then into the building. A 56-year-old woman from Toms River, New Jersey, was killed in the crash while seven customers were injured, police said. The 93-year-old driver – who is from Lavallette – also suffered minor injuries. #newjersey #nbc10philly #lavallette

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I say after a certain age you need to retake a drivers test and then every so many years again.

I’m 80. I quit driving about a year ago. My reaction time is just slower than it once was. When I see stories like this, I’m even more sure of my decision.

the elderly should have something like Uber services that are free to use. wtf are we paying taxes for? main priority of taxes should go to taking care of children, elderly, nature

I pulled my mom’s license at 88 because I knew. She didn’t speak to me for 2 months. Well worth the security of others.

people mistake the gas for the brakes all the time. I don't think this is an age issue. it's a tragedy yes, but anyone could make that mistake.

ZERO people in their 90s should be allowed to drive. That’s insane!!!

Drivers test every 3-5 years starting the day you get your license, and that includes the permit quiz test.

I had my mom’s driver’s license revoked when she was diagnosed with early dementia at 71. She hated me for it but I’d rather deal with her anger than put other people at risk.

My 92 year old brother-in-law told me the other day that his 102 year old friend was picking him and my 90 year old sister up to go out to dinner. Jesus.

I'm so desperate to get these people off the road. at 55 you need to retake a road test every 5 years until 70 and then every 2 years until 80 then you test yearly until you stop driving.

Sad part is, she probably does not have anyone to drive her to places. God bless the elderly and may they find love and people to take care of them. This is really sad for everyone.

Honestly , licenses should be renewed every 3 years with mandatory testing for everyone.

Something similar happened where I live just this past week and all these boomers arguing they would lose their freedom to drive if there was testing. What????? Then yes, you shouldn't be driving. I get it but my gawd, let's do something!
