U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson resigned, citing health reasons less than two weeks after being treated for a seizure following a pair of minor car accidents in California.

Bryson, 68, who has been in office eight months, was found unconscious in his Lexus after the second of two collisions, Los Angeles County police said. He was treated for a seizure the same day, according to his office, and informed President Barack Obama of his resignation yesterday.
