Seriously, why does a person's age matter here. Yes, if the driver was considered too old or a danger to other drivers, you might point this out as a possible reason for the accident. Why does the journalist have to state the ages, it has nothing to do with the accident. It just serves to let biggots start commenting about age gaps... If Hugh Hefner has been in an accident with his 30 year old wife, people who have commnented he went happy. Just sad this type of journalism. If you want to write something about age gaps do it, but don't tie this with a story about road accidents.
