Driver Faces 8-Year Prison Sentence

From The Daily Item in Sunbury, PA

A 22-year-old Pennsylvania woman plead guilty to charges of vehicular homicide last week, and could face up to eight years in prison for her involvement in a car crash that killed her passenger and severely injured another motorist. The driver, who admitted to “huffing” computer duster prior to the accident later “told paramedics that she had done ‘something stupid’ while driving- inhaling duster.” Local police officers confiscated four cans of computer dust remover from the suspect's car shortly after the collision.

In court last week, the suspect plead guilty to homicide by motor vehicle, use of illegal solvents, two counts of driving on the wrong side of the road, and a seat belt violation in connection to the January 2009 accident. Official sentencing is set for mid-November.
