Why is her age relevant?

I'll give them this one - Age is often used to narrow down the details of a person when no other information is available - otherwise people would worry about all female relatives etc...

When an age is written next to a name, it is to ensure that no one with the same name can be mistaken for the person in the article, especially if it surrounds wrongdoing. Not publishing something to distinguish a person in this respect could see a newspaper facing legal action.

Drove past it, smashed back window and a dented bumper, just an everyday shunt, how can this be breaking news, if the 3 cop cars weren't there no one would have known any different.

Thanks for that - I queried it because no name was given so it seemed a totally irrelevant piece of info.
