US Commerce Secretary To Take Medical Leave of Absence After Two Hit and Run Citations in California–Reportedly Suffered a Seizure

This is just a weird story until we hear more. He rear ended one car while a train was passing by and then he spoke to the men in the car and left and then returned to struck the same car again? The men in the other car called 911 and Bryson continued to drive until he hit another car and was unconscious at the wheel and he was taken to a hospital. It is very strange behavior indeed. He is also a former CEO of Edison International, parent company of So Cal Edison and served as chairman of BrightSource Energy. BD

“Secretary Bryson informed the White House tonight that he will be taking a medical leave of absence from his position as Commerce secretary as he undergoes tests and evaluations. The president’s thoughts are with Secretary Bryson and his family during this time. Secretary Bryson assured the White House that the Commerce Department staff will not miss a beat in their work helping America’s businesses compete," Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary, said.

"Secretary Bryson was involved in a traffic accident in Los Angeles over the weekend. He suffered a seizure," 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.
