Abstract
⺠We examine the factors involved in the crashes of rural and urban older drivers. ⺠Those factors more common for rural older drivers lead to higher injury severity. ⺠Logistic regression was used to predict serious and fatal injury to older drivers. ⺠Several environmental factors independently predicted serious and fatal injury. ⺠Means to make the rural driving environment safer for older drivers are indicated.
