Can you tell me statistics on the rate of accidents caused by elderly drivers, compared to other age groups?

According to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, elderly drivers (defined as age 65 and older) are involved in 8 percent of all crashes, despite accounting for only 16 percent of drivers on the road. When compared to younger drivers, the percentage of elderly drivers involved in a fatal crash is almost twice as high, with elderly drivers being involved in 15.1 percent of fatal crashes while representing just 16 percent of the driving population. Statistically, elderly drivers are involved in nearly a third of car accident-related fatalities each year.
