TOKYO: A woman was killed and three other people injured Monday as a car driven by a 90-year-old driver ploughed into pedestrians in eastern Japan, officials said. “One female victim was later confirmed dead and three others – two women and one man – were injured,” he added. The spokesman confirmed the female driver was 90 years old. A series of fatal crashes caused by elderly drivers in Japan has left authorities grappling for ways to clamp down on the problem. Most accidents caused by elderly drivers resulted from them mixing up the accelerator and the brake or losing control of the steering wheel.
