“Stevens had a history of dementia and Alzheimer’s”

Grrr.Yet he’s out driving around, apparently crashing into homes....his family / care takers could have prevented this.

They are lucky he was the only one killed and that the dementia didn’t lead him to ram a crowd of people or school bus.

“his family / care takers could have prevented this.”

How? How do you prevent a legal adult from driving? Driving privileges are issued by the state, not the family.
I ask in all seriousness, because it is a valid question. They could talk to his doctor, or they could talk to the state, but only the state can revoke the privilege.

Taking away his keys or car is theft, and a felony.

Not as easy as it sounds.
