She was strapped in a rear-facing car seat at the time of the crash. The car she was riding in was stopped behind a school bus when it was struck from behind, speed unknown, but the car was not damaged.

I hope everyone is okay and I
I hope everyone is okay and I don't mean to offend anyone not knowing the age of the women, but I have felt for some time that there should be mandatory license/driving evaluation every year after age 70.

I think most people have thought that Greg. The only time I've ever been in an accident is because an 83 year old man pulled out in the road and didn't see my big old car coming. When I saw him get out of his car, I was like oh no... go figure. Then I got a copy of the police report a few days later, and saw his DOB on there and was like Ohh my goodness. I hope I'm still well enough to drive when I'm that old ;)
