...he smashes into the Buick, gets out, talks to the people in that car, then jumps back into his car, takes off - side-swiping the Buick. Then he smashes into another car and leads police on a goose-chase before stopping and passing out? Wouldn't a normal person's brain - knowing they have health/seizure problems - decide to stay out of the car, lie down, ask for medical assistance? None of this adds up.
I am thinking that this former Chairman of BrightSource doesn’t want to face the music and was trying to do himself in.
I honestly think you could view this pretty much as you would someone sleep-walking. He may have been functioning on a lower level, completely unaware consciously of what he was doing.
When I had my tonsils out as a kid, I was causing all sorts of trouble for the staff in the recovery room, as if I was awake. I seemed quite lucid. I remembered none of it afterwards.
Hitting the primary car again, is a pretty good indicator this guy was not operating on all cylinders. When they found him after the next impact, he was unconscious.
I’m sure this will be investigated, and I think the guy will have to answer for his medical condition and if he was taking enough precautions to make sure this type of thing didn’t happen.
It would be interesting to see how this plays out. I think he’s going to pay for it in a number of ways.
