- Police say a 100-year-old driver plowed his Cadillac into a group of people near an elementary school in South Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, injuring nine kids and two adults, reports AP.


Four of the kids, ranging in age from 4 to 11, were in serious condition at a local hospital, reports KTLA-TV. Authorities identified the driver as Preston Carter, and the TV station (which has his age as 101) reports that he thinks his brakes failed. Carter was not injured in the crash.
