Fatalities spark talk on earlier driver testing in West Virginia
Two fatal crashes on Interstate 77 involving older drivers renew debate over retesting seniors for licenses. An 81 year old woman died in Mercer County after driving south in the northbound lanes and colliding with a tractor trailer. A 91 year old Ohio woman died in Jackson County after apparently sleeping at the wheel. Officials suggest a fair reexamination framework rather than age based relicensing.
