Do you still have to drive trucks with 74?

Yesterday I passed the accident site, from a new gloom as the accident probably happened I looked at the pictures and had to find in the text with terrifying notice that the truck driver was given at 74 years old. Does that have to be the 74 year old still 40t driving? http://www.nwm-tv.de/index.php?article_id=2&news=6450
