A Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s captain says there was a concerning trend among the 11 traffic fatalities in the county last year. Sheriff’s captain Ryan Waldschmidt says more elderly drivers were killed in several of the crashes. Waldschmidt says in seven of the crashes the average age of the driver was 78. Waldschmidt says the crashes raise the question about if some of the elderly drivers should have been behind the wheel? ” A lot of time what we see is the families saying I knew I should have done something, I knew it wasn’t safe for mom or dad to drive,” Waldsdchmidt told WFDL news. “I knew I should have took the keys away or the car away.”
