16-Year Sentence For Driver In Huffing Crash

From KFMB-TV:

A California man received a 16-year sentence after he admitted to huffing before getting behind the wheel. His impairment contributed to a crash that killed a 9-year old girl. The 34-year old man, who initially denied wrong doing, showed a penitent posture during sentencing. "I can never repay your loss," he said.

The accident left the young victim with a crushed skull, she was later removed from life support 12 days later, and the man unconscious. At the crash, authorities found several aerosol cans. His vehicle may have traveled as fast as 70 mph before colliding at the intersection.
