Police say U.S.
Commerce Secretary John Bryson has allegedly been cited for felony hit-and-run
following two Los Angeles area accidents that left him injured and unconscious.
They
said early Monday that the 68-year-old Bryson was treated at a hospital for
non-life-threatening injuries following the crashes around 5 p.m. PDT Saturday.
The
Los Angeles County Sheriff's department and the San Gabriel Police Department
say he was driving alone on a major street in San Gabriel when he allegedly
struck the rear end of a vehicle, then left the scene after speaking briefly
with the occupants.
The
agencies say minutes later he struck another vehicle in a nearby community, and
police arriving found him unconscious behind the wheel of his car.
San
Gabriel Police spokesman Lt. Ariel Duran says Bryson was cited for felony
hit-and-run, and prosecutors will determine later if he'll be formally charged.
