U.S. Secretary of Commerce John Bryson is suspected of felony hit and run from an incident that took place on Saturday evening, one that the White House was not told about until Sunday night, officials told ABC News. Bryson hit two cars three times, and was found unconscious behind the wheel of his Lexus.

A statement from Jennifer Friedman, a spokeswoman for the Department of Commerce, stated that Bryson was “involved in a traffic accident over the weekend in Los Angeles. He was taken to the hospital for examination and has been released. He has sustained no injuries and the investigation is ongoing.” Bryson was allegedly driving his Lexus traveling southbound on San Gabriel Boulevard when at approximately 5:05 pm Pacific Time he rear-ended a Buick that had stopped and was waiting for a train to pass, authorities said. Bryson got out of his car, spoke to the three males in the Buick, “then left the scene, hitting the same car as he left the scene,” read a joint statement from the San Gabriel Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. “The three males followed him in their car while calling San Gabriel Police officers via 911 and asking for assistance.” In yet another bizarre twist to the story, about five minutes later Bryson then hit another car containing a man and woman, a Honda Accord, in the city of Rosemead and “was found alone and unconscious behind the wheel of his vehicle.”. . .
