Obama Commerce Secretary Arrested For Felony Hit And Run

Drunk driving.

Bryson, 68, was allegedly driving a Lexus on San Gabriel Boulevard when he hit the back of a Buick that was waiting for a train to pass. There were three men in the Buick. The commerce secretary is said to have spoken to the men after hitting the car the first time and then, while leaving the scene, again hit the vehicle. The men in the Buick followed Bryson’s car while they called 911.

A few minutes later at about 5:10 p.m. local time, Bryson allegedly caused another collision — this one involving a Honda Accord with a man and a woman inside. According to the statement, Bryson was “found alone and unconscious behind the wheel of his vehicle” and was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Two of the three men in the Buick from the first collision were treated for pain, while one of the two people in the Honda also complained of pain but didn’t suffer any major injuries and didn’t receive any medical aid.
