A man and a 1-year-old were briefly trapped in a car which overturned and caught fire in a one-vehicle accident caused by a seizure Wednesday afternoon.

The driver, Carlton Harrison, 26, of New Hutchinson Mill Road, said a seizure caused him to lose control of his vehicle in the 100 block of Spring Street about 12:17 p.m. The vehicle flipped onto its roof on the side of the road with Harrison and his 1-year-old passenger, Cameron Aryan, of Spring Street, temporarily trapped inside. LaGrange firefighters quickly removed them because of the fire and an increasing amount of smoke inside the car, police said.

The two were treated at West Georgia Medical Center and released. Hospital staff verified that Harrison had a seizure and has a history of seizures.
