STAFFORD – An 86-year old woman accidentally backed her vehicle into an occupied Perry’s Lake residence yesterday afternoon, police report.
On Oct. 23, at approximately 3:30 p.m., Stafford Police, Fire and EMS responded to a motor vehicle accident on Fort Lee Drive in the Perry’s Lake section of Stafford Township.
According to police, the driver, 86-year old Julia Elmowsky of Suffern, NY, was driving a Ford Escape on Oak Ridge Lane when she put the vehicle in reverse. Elmowsky thought she was reversing when she accidentally pressed the accelerator instead, causing her to collide with an occupied residence.
No injuries were reported. As a precaution, Elmowsky was transported to the Southern Ocean Medical Center for evaluation.
Tell me what did you really expect an 86 year old to do?
Yank that license away from her, fast!
I live around the corner from there i drove past it…. crazy shit
Should really be retested at a set age.
The really need to be retested some of these old people cant drive at all
She should NOT be driving!! Old people CAUSE accidents!
Shâüñ Påtrįçk and young ppl don’t.
Lynette Wright Hennelly statistically older people are the cause of more accidents then younger drivers
Shâüñ Påtrįçk no ignoramus It’s the people drunk and or texting causing the most . That’s your age group
Laura Schneider Lange my age group?! Lady you have no idea how old I even am??♂️ hahaha and ignoramus?! Wtf??
Shâüñ Påtrįçk do some research..my daughter’s best friend aka as my other daughter and her 3 year old son were slammed on Rt 9 today. And it wasn’t an older driver. I’m thankful they’re alive. Her car was totalled. ?
Lynette Wright Hennelly not every accidentnis going to be an older driver??♂️ I said statistically
Lynette Wright Hennelly I’m sorry to hear about your daughter and her son tho, hope they are okay??
Thank you. But please research..younger drivers do cause more accidents. And I do believe at a certain age elderly drivers should be checked at some point. I’m so thankful they’re ok. Someone just stopped in front of them on RT 9. I think most people drive like crap. I drove for FedEx and the worst was a couple with two babies in their car..well the 18 wheeler slammed into them. I still don’t know how they survived.
All people cause accidents! Old people just drive into homes and stores
Shâüñ Påtrįçk you dont see the younger generation driving through houses lol, the license plate says it’s all hahaha
Shâüñ Påtrįçk statistically older people don’t have more accidents.
Jim Edward Aleman welp I stand corrected then. Coulda sworn it was the other way around tho for sure???♂️
Shâüñ Påtrįçk 80+ age group is about tied with fatal car crash rates 16-17 but at 80 they die from standing up too quick
Shâüñ Påtrįçk
Jim Edward Aleman agreed hahah. Not all old drivers are bad. I do believe tho that at a certain age they should all be retested, both a paper test and a road test because there really are some old people out on the roads who should NOT be behind the wheel of a vehicle what so ever.
Shâüñ Påtrįçk facts I feel everyone should road retest every 15years
Jim Edward Aleman
Shâüñ Påtrįçk I agree road tested and eye exam but I don’t think a written test is necessary. The main concern is their cognitive abilities.
You can’t smoke til your 21 but you can drive til your 109 yrs old ?♀️
Not Whiting for once !
Laura Michelle or holiday City berkeley
Mandatory retesting?
What a shame. Their kitchen is destroyed. All I can do is Shake my Head.
Dumbass state. Why dont they retest??
Kelly Daletto
New York plates?
What a freaking asshole . I’m sure she won’t have to be retested or anything .
Michael Anthony Santucci why don’t you think about the person? Age discrimination much? PS you’ll be older one day. More young people are causing accidents then older ppl. Just saying.
Michael Anthony Santucci wow. What a nice sentiment to call an elderly person. Your fcking parents certainly didn’t raise you right
Lynette Wright Hennelly where is that statistic?
Laura Schneider Lange Laura only an asshole drives a car through a house .
Larisa Anaya what did you do? That looks like your car ?
Kenny Sadowski got bored…felt like changing things up a bit?
Forgot her keys?
So she’s an ass hole? Why don’t you Google how many young people are causing severe accidents. People drive like shit. I’d like to see you all when ur older. No one was hurt.
Lynette Wright Hennelly stfu!!!
Michael Sean Fu you’re such an ass. Why do don’t u do some homework. Ur a nasty person with no respect. U don’t even deserve an answer. Idiot that u are. I’m out
Think ur all that. ??
Lynette Wright Hennelly you answered him twice
Lynette Marie so good for me
I will not drive at an elderly age.
Patricia Lorraine Zennario I’m screen-shotting this! ?
Daisy Jones you go right ahead. I am not driving at 85 lol
There are SO many ‘distracted driver’ accidents EVERY day that nobody reports on them any more, those are not newsworthy.
That’s why it’s called an Accident. Glad everyone is Okay . I’m sure her insurance will fix that place up good as new ?
Matt Fishman ?
That pesky gas pedal got stuck again
At any age this could happen especially today when we are all in a hurry with so much on our minds. I’m sure the woman is really upset and thinking about what they will do to her now. As we get older and realize not only our mortality is coming to an end but dignity and respect and rights and privileges being taken away it all plays a part on fast forwarding the age progression. I know a 94 year old that is sharp as a tack and drives every day. Why should she be mandatory tested or her privilege revoked? The worry over that can cause mistakes and aggravation
I know a 30 year old that never should have gotten a license to begin with.
Wasn’t her fault! She blew the horn!!
OMG!! That’s awful! It should be not driving at her age
OMG..when will the DMV and state courts realize that mandatory testing is necessary?
ELDERLY NEED TO BE RETESTED!!!!!!
And this is why 86 year olds shouldn’t have a drivers license!
The house got in her way…..
That’s why after 70 you should have to retake your driving test every few years to evaluate your driving reflexes ect . I understand accidents happen within all age brackets but the older you get the less alert you become.
But re testing these old people isnt right….. yet they pull out infront of my 10 ton truck hoping I’ll stop on time, cant see the dash infront of there face let alone a mile down the road.
This is one of the reasons why I think the elderly should have to take another driving test at a certain age
be nice
Maybe she had some sort of medical incident which could happen at any age.
