He hasn't written anything outstanding in many, many years.
But you are right. Nothing OUTSTANDING since The Green Mile. A few better than average books, but nothing like he was churning out in the 80's and early 90's.
It, Salem's Lot, and The Shining were literally scary and yet I couldn't put any of them down. I remember how weird and yet intriguing Tommyknockers was. Even the book where Satan was the owner of the shop was an excellent read. And what can I say about The Stand? Misery? That one was actually about his cocaine addiction according to an interview I read.
Seriously, Stephen King kept me company when I was a teen in a troubled home. But, I really can't read anything by him anymore and haven't been able to in years. Too bad really.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

He has never been the same since 1) getting off drugs and 2) getting hit by the car.

I think the drug issue had more to do with it than the car.

All of this is very disheartening considering the recent New Dark Tower Book announcement.
