LA district attorney reviewing Bryson incident

Police have turned over their findings to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office regarding a trio of traffic accidents involving former Commerce Secretary John Bryson last month.

Sandi Gibbons, a district attorney spokeswoman, said her office received the case Monday and is reviewing the evidence. She declined to comment further.

Bryson resigned June 21 after suffering a seizure, saying he didn't want his health to be a distraction from his job. Authorities said Bryson struck a car stopped for a train twice and then rammed into another vehicle with his car a few minutes later. He was found unconscious in his vehicle.

A Breathalyzer test administered to Bryson shortly after the crashes didn't detect any alcohol. Bryson was cited for felony hit-and-run.
