    Yep 87 is up in age to be driving.. Sure it was his fault.. He died as well...

    Not a big fan of anti lock braking systems or side and front airbags that go off when you get hit initially but are still moving fast after that initial impact...

    Other then that I agree...

    Definitely the 87 yr old mans fault, he had no right to be out of his house. And for him to be driving is without a doubt, Criminal.

    very true. people who visit dead relatives in a cemetery must be desperate for something to do. sitting in a park with stale bread feeding the birds makes more sense.

    My grandfather is 94 and drives himself around everyday. Hasn't had an accident or ticket of any kind since he was in his 40s. If my dad felt that he was a safety issue, he would take the car away from him.

    Awful for both families to lose a loved one in such a horrible fashion.

    His makeup lady who ESPN settled a sexual harrassment lawsuit with probably disagrees. Berman was a perv. Unless the old guy locked up his car or was stopped in the middle of the road, it's Berman's fault. Will be interesting to see the findings.

    That's up in age.. I don't know anyone that age that still drives.. Motor nerves and reflexes are shot, brain doesn't react to immediate driving emergency decisions, could even mistake the gas pedal for the brake pedal...

    I've seen a few accidents in my life time involving very old drivers, their fault everytime... in my city I remember an old man hit the gas instead of the brake and plowed into a Farmers Market killing 2 people. Old fart got confused.. I remember that and he must of felt so bad...
