A 22-year old woman (then 18) accused of huffing inhalants before her car went off the road and struck a guardrail, killing her 16-year old passenger has recently admitted fault. Responding troopers found aerosol cans in the back seat after the accident, and the driver’s blood sample tested positive for difluoroethane.

The crash took place in 2007, and “prosecutors said it is the first death-by-auto case involving inhalants in New Jersey, to their knowledge”.

Sentencing is set for April 15.
