In China, the problem of an aging population is becoming increasingly serious. Meanwhile, the age limit for obtaining a driving license has been abolished. The traffic safety problem of elderly drivers has become increasingly prominent. To study the regularity of traffic accidents in the elderly, nationwide traffic accident data of elderly driver deaths from 2011 to 2019 were analyzed by using a grey forecast model. At the same time, national accident data from 2014 to 2019 were used to compare accident types among elderly drivers and drivers of other age groups. The findings were as follows: (1) the number of elderly driver fatalities in recent years across China showed a trend of increasing; and (2) elderly drivers were more prone to vehicle-to-vehicle accidents and single-vehicle accidents. The results are helpful in identifying characteristics of elderly drivers in traffic accidents and providing a theoretical basis for improving traffic safety management of elderly drivers.
