80+ year old belted driver fatalities in 2017–2023 CISS

The 80+ yo drivers caused most (71%) of the fatal crashes at intersections (36%), by drifting out of lane (29%) and by speeding (6%). Most fatal crashes seemed to involve errors in perception, vision, and judgment where sensory and cognitive functions failed to recognize the presence and speed of a crossing or oncoming vehicle. The crashes mainly involved partial overlap frontal or side impacts causing chest injuries with the majority dying within a day. Older drivers should stay vigilant, maintain lane control, and heed the advice to "look left, right and left" at intersections.
