In the first accident, he crossed three lanes of oncoming traffic, ran up on the side walk, crashed into a Krispy Kreme donuts shop and knocked a painter off a ladder.
Fortunately, everyone in the building is safe, but the painter received minor injuries. Police say Bertrand was taken to the hospital, but he refused treatment and left. Friends say he was doing fine after the accident.
A few hours later, Bertrand decides to take his wife's car out. Police say he was at a stop light on Patterson Avenue and when the light turned green, he did not move. The car behind him drove around him and when she stopped at the next intersection, Bertrand rear-ended her car.
The woman was not hurt in the accident. Bertrand told police he did not remember what happened; he had taken some medication.
"He had a back seizure and couldn't move." What, exactly, is a back seizure?
Serious back pain usually requires narcotics and it would be negligent for a doctor to advise "full liberties to operate machinery, to drive".
Driving under the influence of prescription drugs is irresponsible. There is no difference in this situation than someone driving under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. He made a conscious decision to take drugs and drive.
Bertrand is lucky no one was seriously injured in the two accidents. Why didn't he just raise his hands towards heaven and say "Jesus Take the Wheel"!
Peace
