From the Gary Post Tribune in Indiana:
An 18-year old male “was involved in three separate, serious crashes Sunday after allegedly inhaling the propellant from canned dust cleaner.” However, he wasn’t arrested because he needed medical treatment after the third crash.
The driver was brought to the emergency room after he crashed his father’s truck into a tree. Police had received reports for two earlier accidents involving the same truck – and all within the previous half hour.
The first car hit “suffered at least $10,000 worth of damages and was towed from the scene.” The driver of the car took himself and his two 15-year old passengers to the emergency room.
In the second accident, he rear-ended a car and then “allegedly then pulled up next to the damaged vehicle, smiled, then cut across a cement median and did a U-turn despite traffic.” That car also had to be towed.
After the third crash into the tree, the 18-year old driver was found unconscious inside. The truck had “heavy front-end damage, was missing most of the passenger side headlight assembly and its passenger side front tire was lying on the ground.” Parts of the truck were also left at the scene of the previous two accidents.
The driver allegedly told police he had been at a house “where at least six people were huffing dust remover. “ He denied huffing it himself but admitted the fumes may have impacted him but he “didn’t think he was that messed up to drive.” He has little recollection of crashing into the tree and remembers nothing about the previous two accidents.
