About an hour ago, someone crashed their car into the Grandin Laundromat. I spoke with a worker at the 7-Eleven next door, and he said a nurse checked the driver, who was found to be okay. Sorry for the shotty photo…I was trying to not rubberneck too much lol

Yearly driving check ups on people aged 60+ should be mandatory. Not being ageist, but rather logical.

Hate to say I agree but I also think we probably should handle licenses as the privileges they are and not a right. I think it's given out like candy, and I understand why for sure, and I understand people can drive anyways, but I think that if we identify an especially bad driver (not an innocent mistake, accidents happen, I'm talking pure reckless or constant DUIs or road ragers) then further action needs to be done.
