I have had hundreds of petit mal seizures and at least one grand mal. The partial seizures can be deceptive to onlookers, and to those unfamiliar with them can assume they are something else.

I was hoping someone with direct experience would post!

When I first heard this story, I was thinking petit mal seizure was in the realm of possibility.

However Bryson apparently has no history of any kind of seizures, petit mal or grand mal.

Sure, it could've been a "first" seizure -- but how would anyone have been able to determine that so quickly? Like, immediately after the accident? Seems to me it would take several days of medical testing to even suggest that a petit mal was a possibility. (And if it had been grand mal, Bryson wouldn't have been in any condition to drive off and hit someone else.)

If it turns out that Bryson did in fact have a history of petit mal seizures, wouldn't that condition have to be noted on his driver's license?

If you would rather not answer, I won’t be put off at all.

I am interested to know if after your events, you can remember everything that happened.

My take on this guy’s actions on Saturday, is that he was in and out of consciousness, or perhaps even consciously out nearly the whole time.

From your experience, is that possible or am I off base?
