A recent study shows that Nevada ranks third in the country in fatal accidents involving older drivers.

The report, released on Wednesday by a nonprofit transportation research group based in Washington, D.C., TRIP, says that 22 percent of all fatal accidents involved a driver age 65 or older.

The 263,285 registered drivers over the age of 65 account for 16 percent of the registered drivers in the state.

According to the report, there were 62 deaths as a result of accidents involving older drivers, and that about half of those deaths were at least 65 years old.
