Engineers identified the characteristics of older drivers in Kansas and the types of crashes they are involved in. Their research found most car accidents involving older drivers occur during the daytime and are more severe, often ending in injury or fatality, than those for younger populations. The researchers will follow up with a study to learn what changes can be made to improve these difficulties for older drivers.
