Mr. Bryson, who was found unconscious in his car late Saturday afternoon, was treated and taken to a hospital for examination. Mr. Bryson, 68, was released from the hospital after staying overnight for observation.
Late Monday night, the Commerce Department said Mr. Bryson would take a medical leave of an unstated duration. The White House said he would undergo tests and evaluations.

At 68 he should retire, period.
After he was released from the hospital, he should have been arrested, and arraigned. It is a serious matter to leave the scene of an accident. Somehow, it appears that he received preferential treatment, because he is a member of the President’s cabinet.
