 After a thorough investigation into the crash, it was determined that Chief Jonas had experienced a medical emergency that caused him to lose control of the cruiser thus causing the crash. More specifically, it has been widely reported that Chief Jonas had a TIA, also known as a “Mini Stroke”. A TIA or Transient Ischemic Attack is a condition that limits the blood flowing to the brain. It can cause confusion, weakness, and in some cases a short loss of consciousness. In most cases, these symptoms last from a few minutes to a few hours and in most cases, there is no long term or permanent damage to the victim.

 

According to the Town of South Congaree, Chief Jonas remains on paid medical leave as of yesterday. During his absence, Lt. James Marchant was appointed to assume the duties of running the department.
