“She was on a walnut in the west when she suffered at 3:20 a.m., which was now diagnosed and confirmed as a seizure of a degree,” said Hanken. “At that time it made her completely and completely out of action, and as a result of this confiscation, she does not remember what happened.”

Akers did not immediately answer people's request.

The crash occurred after Akers' Jeep “left the street for unknown reasons and traveled through a field into the east side” of the Ynot (youth who needs other things) outdoors outdoors in Chatham, said the police.

The vehicle drove through the building and hit numerous people before storming through the other side, the police added.

The insight of the lawyer corresponds to that of Brendan Kelly, police director of Illinois State, said during a press conference on Thursday, May 1st.

Immediately after the crash, Akers was taken to the hospital, where she provided blood and urine samples, and was then released, said Kelly. The first toxicological results show that it has been negatively tested for alcohol or controlled substances, including benzodiazepines, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, cannabinoids and phencyclidine (PCP).

“Some evidence has been developed, which indicates the possibility of a medical emergency in the run -up to the crash. However, this examination of this information and other evidence has not yet been completed and is continued,” he said of the continued investigation.

“All evidence is presented to the state's lawyer to determine which indictment according to the law is appropriate,” said Kelly.
