Wicked Local Milton reported yesterday that an elderly woman had her license revoked after causing an accident that sent a 21-year-old Dorchester man to the hospital.

The 81-year-old woman, Delores Crevola, was not injured in the accident. She was cited for a red light violation on Route 138 and Dollar Lane.

There has been a rash of accidents recently involving senior citizens and the state legislature has convened in the past month to examine the issue and listen to testimony from concerned citizens. Senator Joyce in particular has been vocal on the issue and been advocating for some time that elderly drivers be tested on a more frequent basis.

We have been running a poll on the issue which you can find on the right side of this page.

The article in Wicked Local includes advice from Senior Helpers, an agency that connects professional caregivers with elderly who choose to live at home instead of in a nursing or assisted-living facility. You can read the full article here.
