Commerce Secretary John Bryson accused of hit-and-run; officials report seizure Bryson, who was found unconscious in his car after the last collision, was given a citation for felony hit-and-run by the San Gabriel police while in the hospital Saturday night. San Gabriel police spokesman Lt. Ariel Duran said the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office will decide whether to prosecute Bryson, based on the results of toxicology and medical tests and the ongoing police investigation. Bryson submitted to a toxicology test, and those results are pending, Duran said. A joint statement by the San Gabriel Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said there were no indications at this point that drug or alcohol use played a role in the collisions. Bryson spoke to the three occupants of the Buick, then hit the vehicle again as he drove off, the statement said. About five minutes later, the statement said, Bryson allegedly struck a Honda Accord in the neighboring city of Rosemead. He "was found alone and unconscious behind the wheel of his vehicle" after that crash, the joint statement said. One of the two occupants of the Honda complained of pain but declined medical treatment, authorities said. Two of the three men in the Buick also complained of pain and were treated by rescue workers. The accidents occurred in different police jurisdictions and are being jointly investigated by the sheriff's office and the San Gabriel Police Department. Duran, the San Gabriel police watch commander on Saturday, said Bryson would have been arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run had he not been hospitalized. Instead, he was given the citation and told to appear at Alhambra Superior Court in 60 days. In Washington, the Commerce Department scrambled early Monday to address the situation. Secretary Bryson was involved in a traffic accident in Los Angeles over the weekend. He suffered a seizure," Commerce Department spokeswoman Jennifer Friedman said in a statement. He was taken to the hospital for examination and remained overnight for observation. He was released and has returned to Washington. The investigation is ongoing. Friedman said Bryson was on personal time, was driving his own car, and was not accompanied by any security detail. He has no public events scheduled for today.
