What a way to go

IR's sympathies are with the nine people who were run down by an elderly driver at a farmer's market in Santa Monica. Police don't know why this happened: they tested him for drugs and alcohol, and say it might be medically related, though his neighbors don't know of any medicines he's taking that would impair his driving like that. This dude drove through the markets for three blocks, scattering booths, produce, and people horrifically. Really sounds like something from a bad movie, but then, this is Santa Monica.
