Fatal Accident in Topeka Causes Concern for Elderly Drivers in Kansas City Area

If you are an elderly driver or know someone who is considered a senior citizen, you know all too well that as you've gotten older, your reflexes aren't what they used to be.  Elderly drivers can be more vulvernable to being involved in an an auto accident because of a decrease in reaction time and slower reflexes.
