Today’s drivers aged 70 and older are less likely to be involved in crashes than previous generations, and less likely to be killed or seriously injured if they do crash, according to a study released Thursday by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. That’s because vehicles are getting safer and seniors are generally getting healthier, the institute said. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)
