The Springfield News-Leader this morning reports a crash between a bicycle and car on West Kearney St. The details are sketchy — and odd. According to the N-L:
Officers investigating the 5:46 p.m. accident in the 1800 block of West Kearney Street concluded a bicyclist who rode into a passing car may have had a seizure, Springfield Police Department spokesman Officer Grant Story said.
The unnamed cyclist apparently did not suffer serious injuries. The unnamed driver left the scene of the accident but was apprehended a short time later. The driver began fighting the police when they tried to handcuff him. Sounds like a they have a good case for leaving the scene of an accident, resisting arrest, and assault of a police officer — except:
[Springfield Police Department spokesman Officer Grant Story] said it is unclear if charges will be filed, however, because the man has medical problems that affect his behavior.
Hmmmmmmm…
