An 83-year-old woman going 60 mph over the speed limit hit seven cars and flipped her Ford Explorer in Georgia earlier this month. The massive crash has led to calls for mandatory age-based driving tests.

Incredibly, despite the 83-year-old woman reportedly reaching speeds of up to 95 mph in a 35 mph zone, she did not kill anyone. Georgia State Patrol reported that the SUV driver appeared to have mistakenly pressed the gas pedal instead of the brake.

The disasterous crash occurred at a traffic light in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. There, the Explorer slammed into a Kia Forte, a GMC Sierra, and a Honda CR-V that had stopped.

The impact caused the GMC Sierra to hit a Honda Civic and a Lexus IS300. It caused the Ford Explorer to flip and hit the roof of the Lexus. Debris from the crash hit a white Kia Sorento that was crossing through the light.

According to Local 3 News, the Georgia State Patrol obtained arrest warrants for the 83-year-old driver who caused the crash. The authorities charged her with serious injury by vehicle, reckless driving, speeding 95 mph in a 35 mph zone, and following too closely.

“There was smoke, as you can see in the video, and I immediately put my car in park, the flashers on,” a witness, Risa Wilhite, described the crash. “Met with the driver of the white Kia sedan that kind of took the, the first hit on the side, and she was beside herself, so I immediately, you know, went over, talked to her, said, you know, everything’s going to be fine.

She added that the woman driving the Ford Explorer was bleeding and appeared to have hurt her hand, “but I truly believe that somebody was watching over us that day.”

The fact that such a devastating crash was caused by an 83-year-old driver has many wondering. Should there be stricter testing for elderly drivers? The mother of the 20-year-old male in the Honda Civic that was hit thinks there should be.

“Elderly people should be retested,” Crystal McCommon said. “I’m going to be old one day. And I agree. You don’t want to lose that independence of driving as a person. And as an elderly person, that does take away your independence. But I do feel families should pay a little more attention and start stepping in a little more.”
