Hubbard's attorney, John Kirk, on Friday pointed to a respiratory condition, called cough syncope. While he was driving, Kirk said, Hubbard began to cough. It caused him to stray, initially, from the lane, he said. But the cough became more violent, causing him to pass out, Kirk said.

Yeah, that’s believable.

If this is true — and I most seriously doubt for a second it is — the killer should be banned from driving for life.

I have asthma and had a coughing fit so bad once, I lost my eyesight for about 5 seconds. I was on a curve with a cliff on my right side. I held the wheel in the same position and braked steadily to a stop. When my vision returned my right tires were 6 inches onto the right shoulder. I had used my inhaler a minute or so prior but it handed kicked in.

This is an old legal trick. If ever involved in a wreck say you sneezed. It is impossible to sneeze without closing your eyes. Advice passed on to me by a friend in law enforcement.
