FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda MONDAY, June 11 (HealthDay News) — A seizure may be to blame for
U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson‘s two hit-and-run crashes that
occurred Saturday in California’s San Gabriel Valley, according to a
Commerce Department spokeswoman.
“Secretary Bryson was involved in a traffic accident in Los Angeles
over the weekend. He suffered a seizure,” Jennifer Friedman said in a
statement, the Los Angeles Times reported.
“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. Secretary Bryson has no public events scheduled
for today,” Friedman said.
Bryson, 68, was driving his own vehicle on personal time and did not
have a security team with him when the crashes occurred, sources told the
Times.
Experts said the type of accident Bryson had is plausible when a person
suffers a seizure.
The cause of the attack has not yet been made clear. “A large majority
of seizures are of unknown cause. There are many other possible causes of
seizures including prior head trauma, blood abnormalities, brain tumors,
and strokes,” Dr. Ralph Sacco, chief of neurology at Jackson Memorial
Hospital and the Miller School of Medicine at the
University of Miami, told HealthDay. “Seizures can be treated and
controlled with seizure medications, but the first step is to figure out
the type and possible cause of the seizure.”
While the cause of Bryson’s attack remains uncertain, Dr. Keith Black,
chairman of the department of neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
in Los Angeles, added that “a patient who has such seizures will most
probably have an MRI scan and an EEG to detect if there is ongoing seizure
activity. Having a first seizure makes it much more likely to have
another,” he explained.
“In addition, if someone has a seizure and loses consciousness, it has
to be reported to the DMV [Department of Motor Vehicles] and usually the
patient’s driver’s license is suspended for six months and until a doctor
says it’s alright to drive again,” Black noted.
Following the collisions, Bryson was cited for felony hit-and-run but
was not booked in jail because he was taken to a local hospital. He was
cooperative with detectives, and drugs and alcohol do not appear to have
been a factor, according to authorities.
“The investigation is in its preliminary stages,” Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department and San Gabriel Police Department officials said in a
statement, the Times reported.
After the two hit-and-runs late Saturday afternoon, police found Bryson
alone and unconscious behind the wheel of his car.
Often, seizures give people very few warning signs. “When someone has a
seizure he or she may have no sign of it,” Black said. “There may be
strange smells, there may be tingling in the arms or legs, or nausea. But,
most of the time the person is unaware of what is happening and becomes
confused.”
Bryson became head of the Commerce Department in October 2011.
