Unfortunately, fatal. LINK Maintain your brakes, folks. Change that fluid if it's old and make sure you have lots of friction material.

sixty-five YO driver suffered a medical problem before first barricade was hit? most likely
Isn't speculation a wonderful thing?
Speculation based on statistical evidence.
Only aproximately 7% of all accidents are due to mechanical failure so that makes brake failure unlikely.
Over 90% of all vehicle accidents are operator error.
Age 65 and over drivers have among the lowest rate of accidents and it is a good possibility the driver had a TIA or some other medical event prior to the collision.
