92-year-olds shouldn't have to drive to get around. We can do better, AZ.

If they choose to drive, we're all at risk.

Agree. We don’t know the whole story but at first glance, I can’t imagine would need to be driving at that time of night. Where are the children or maybe better question grandchildren? Even the children of this elderly woman might not be good candidates for operating a motor vehicle. Curious to know what the investigation unfolds.
