Burbank police released today that a traffic accident that occurred around 4 pm on Friday, December 3 took the life of 85-year-old Allan Roy Levine, a resident of Burbank.
According to a release by Lt. Derek Green of the Burbank Police Department, the accident occurred at the corner of Floyd St. and San Fernando Blvd.
“When police officers arrived, they found the driver of one of the vehicles, an elderly man, with serious injuries. Paramedics transported the man to a local trauma center.
“After spending several hours in the hospital, the man was pronounced deceased.”
He said that the driver of the other vehicle was not injured and remained at the scene for police.
At this time, neither drugs nor alcohol appear to have been a factor. The cause of the collision remains under investigation,” said Green.
Anyone with information about this collision is asked to call the Burbank Police Department’s Traffic Bureau at (818) 238-3100.
The DMV shouldn’t allow 85 year old persons to be behind the wheel – reflexes, vision & hearing are NOT upto snuff at that age – additionally, Insurance Agencies shouldn’t cover them.
Surprisingly he was still a good driver. I miss him very deeply…not the way I wanted him to go at all 🙁
My deepest condolences to this gentleman’s family and friends.
Driving is a privilege and not a right. How many of us are taught this while learning to drive, reading the driving manual, or in traffic school? If you can pass the test and are driving responsibly, no matter what your age, you get to continue to drive.
If you can’t drive to the best of your ability, or you know you shouldn’t be driving, then it’s imperative you retire your license and stop driving.
Younger people feel they have the right to make blanket statements about age and driving ability. From what I’ve been seeing on the road lately, it’s the younger drivers that need to have their driver’s licenses revoked.
Stop, look, listen and drive without the distraction of cell phones, tablets, movies, shavers, make-up or food. Your life, and the life of others, depends on this.
