Driving with Alzheimer’s: When does it become unsafe?

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – A story about an 81-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s who went missing sparked a lot of questions about how she was able to drive and get lost three hours away in West Virginia.
Pearl Frisk’s family reported her missing Tuesday after she didn’t show up to her granddaughter’s house in Hermitage. She ended up driving to Sistersville, West Virginia after she lost her way.
She was found safe overnight.
