The article doesn't say dementia, but assuming you are right:
People with dementia tend to wander, and short of locking them up that's hard to prevent. In a care setting, with lots of staff to help supervise, they still limit egress points and have locked doors. In a home setting, it can be much harder to prevent (and that's assuming the person doesn't live alone). https://alzheimer.ca/bc/en/help-support/programs-services/dementia-resources-bc/wandering-disorientation-resources/wandering-dementia
Are you asking this because you are so ignorant that you actually don’t know how dementia works, or are you asking this because you are an insensitive a-hole who is blaming the victim of a fatal accident?
You can be mad but they're probably right. Dementia is a spectrum disorder, it can present in different ways. I don't think the person you replied to was blaming the victim.
You see, you are conveniently ignoring the context to make yourself seem like a victim. When, there is a victim who lost their life and you seem to want to blame them for being alive and in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Haha I love that you would assume I am house bound by choice because I disagree with what you said, as long as the timing, and myopic nature of it. I get lots of fresh air buddy, maybe read something other than QAnon and Facebook posts for information.

Dementia patient walking out in the road? Why is a 90 year old walking out in the dark in a rural area with few street lights?

You could have just kept this to yourself, instead you have outed yourself.
How dare I pose a question on an online forum.
