Dorsey lost control of the car. It came to rest against a tree in a median. Witnesses who called 911 said Dorsey was “flopping like a fish.” The Charles County Mobile Intensive Care Unit responded to the scene “for the motor vehicle accident with a person having seizures,” according to sheriff's records. “He had just gotten off the phone with his girlfriend,” said attorney Timothy F. Maloney, who is representing the family in the Justice Department matter. Maloney said it was Dorsey's second seizure in two months. He had not been prescribed anti-seizure medication, Maloney said. In a police report prepared days after the accident and Tasering, Dorsey's girlfriend told investigators he had texted her and said, “I'm ready to pass out behind the wheel.
