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

According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, elderly drivers ages 65 and older are involved in approximately 8.3% of total US traffic crashes but only account for 12% of all drivers. When compared to young drivers ages 15 to 19 who are involved in roughly 14% of total US traffic crashes but make up only 7% of all drivers, elderly drivers are almost twice as likely to be involved in a traffic accident. 

Another study conducted in 2019 showed that elderly drivers are two to three times more likely to be involved in an accident compared to middle-aged drivers.
