Via teh Ledger-Enquirer in Georgia:
Two Fort Benning soldiers are being charged in a fatal inhalant related crash.
Last Saturday the 20 and 27 year males allegedly “spent the hours before the wreck on a drinking and huffing binge, taking shots of Jack Daniel’s whiskey and inhaling nitrous oxide from balloons.” The crash resulted in the death of a 55 year old father of seven.
One of the men told police he couldn’t remember the crash but he described the events leading up to it. After a trip to the mall they stopped to buy whiskey and began taking shots in the parking lot. They finished the bottle while driving around the town. They then purchased nitrous oxide capsules and stopped at another store to buy balloons from which to inhale the gas. Upon inspection, police found 14 empty ““Supercharger” nitrous oxide canisters.
They took at least three hits apiece, stopped to buy energy drinks, and then stopped at another liquor store where they purchased another bottle of whiskey.
They were speeding and swerving through traffic when they struck a car from behind, pushing it into oncoming traffic where it was hit head-on. They continued driving, causing another collision and in total injuring seven people in the crashes.
