Car Goes Airborne After Driver Huffs

From the Dekalb Daily Chronicle in Illinois

Last Monday, three teens were injured in a huffing related car accident.
Around noon, the 17 year-old male driver, a 17-year old male passenger, and another 16 year old male passenger were allegedly huffing computer duster while traveling in the car. The driver passed out and the car “crossed the lanes of traffic and began driving in a ditch on the south side of Route 34.” The car then became airborne, struck a traffic signal control box, landed on the street and then came to a stop on the other side of the roadway.”

Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. All three suffered minor injuries and were treated at the hospital and released.

The driver was “ charged with driving under the influence of an intoxicating substance, driving under the influence of marijuana, improper lane use, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, operating an uninsured motor vehicle and two counts of reckless conduct.”
