Cabinet Member is now Under Investigation
UPDATE July 5, 2012: Prosecutors in Los Angeles County have decided against filing charges against former Secretary of Commerce John Bryson. The Cabinet member was involved in a series of accidents in a Los Angeles suburb late last month. San Gabriel Police presented county prosecutors with evidence for the case, but the District Attorney's office indicated Tuesday that no charges will be filed.
A bizarre incident in a Northeast Los Angeles suburb led police to cite Secretary of Commerce John Bryson with felony hit and run Monday. The cabinet member apparently suffered a seizure while driving his Lexus down a major roadway in San Gabriel, a city in Los Angeles County, CA.

Bryson, who has since returned to Washington, was taken to the hospital at approximately 5PM Pacific Time and released sometime later. It is unknown if drugs or alcohol were factors in this case, though police and investigators have indicated that it does not appear Bryson was intoxicated at the time.
Police officers found Bryson alone and unconscious in his car after colliding with 2 different vehicles. He allegedly spoke with the 3 men who were in the car of the first incident for a brief time, before returning to his vehicle and continuing to drive. He then struck the Buick a second time, prompting the men to contact 9-1-1 for assistance.
Bryson drove his vehicle into the city of Rosemead, where he struck a different car containing a man a woman approximately five minutes after the first crash. One of the two individuals in the second vehicle complained of pain after the incident.
John Bryson has been the United States Secretary of Commerce since he was sworn in by President Obama in May of 2011. He has no prior medical history of seizures.
