Santa Rosa Junior College student Brett W. looks upon the damange he caused to the fence of Bailey Field after fainting while driving.

A Santa Rosa Junior College student driving a pickup truck collided with a section of the fence lining Bailey Field on Bear Cub Way April 22.

The student, who preferred to be named Brett W., said he was driving around the corner of Bear Cub Way when he became dizzy and fainted.

“Next thing I knew, I jumped the curb,” he said. Brett W. said he has a history of medical conditions.

Police Officer Anthony Gregori said the student will be required to have his license reviewed at the department of motor vehicles.  He may get his license revoked.

According to Darth Elledge, SRJC groundskeeper, the panels involved in the collision were damaged beyond repair and would need to be replaced.

Elledge also said that similar incidents had occurred involving the same student in other parts of campus.

    To follow, that student or human being ended up having two brain surgeries, the first 15 days post this article. When he was interviewed he was in the middle of his shock and trauma. Maybe following up to afford sensitivity and also to better look into the accountable side comments because the last ones a bit sharp and has no credibility and could indicate false implications, thus impacting the traumatized student with health issues and disabilities.
