Car Crashes into House After Driver Huffs Dusters

From C&G Newspapers in Detroit, Michigan:

On November 2nd, four teenage boys (ages 14-17) crashed into a house after huffing computer dusting spray while driving.

A passenger in the car “told police the car driver passed out at the wheel moments after huffing.” The car “quickly accelerated, hit a retaining wall, went airborne and struck the house, causing extensive damage to the home’s garage.”

“Several of the teens attempted to flee the scene but were apprehended by police.” The 16 year old driver and a 17 year old passenger were taken to the hospital. “All were released to their parents and, at press time, charges were pending.”

The County Sheriff noted “huffing can have deadly consequences, and the teens are lucky to be alive.” He continued, “I implore all parents to talk to their kids about this fad. It carries serious consequences, and by pure luck these kids are alive today. They could have all died and also killed innocent victims who were in the path of the runaway car.”
