Commerce secretary John Bryson accused of felony hit-and-run; officials say he had a seizure

U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson is accused of causing multiple auto collisions minutes apart in Southern California over the weekend, and of leaving the scene of one of the collisions, authorities said.

A Commerce department spokeswoman said Bryson apparently suffered a seizure, and was hospitalized overnight for examination. It was not immediately clear whether the seizure cause the collisions, or may have resulted from them. Police in California said that if there was a medical reason for the car accidents, Bryson likely would not be prosecuted.
