She Should Have Stopped But She Had to Go

92-year-old Arizona driver Persis Draper hit a jogger, Dori Stolmaker, then drove away because "she had uncontrollable diarrhea." The jogger was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

Persis Draper was only charged with misdemeanor and civil offenses, probably because she returned to the scene after she relieved her physical distress, and the victim was going to be okay.

It's easy to make light of this event, but your humble observer has a measure of sympathy for Persis Draper. Aging greatly reduces the ability to react to unforeseen events, and in life s**t happens. In the future Persis should take care of business before she goes anywhere.
