Via the Bellingham Herald in Washington:
Last week, a Lynden, WA, woman was sentenced to six months in prison for an inhalant-related car accident in 2009.
The 20-year-old woman and two teenage friends purchased several cans of dust remover before heading to the young woman’s apartment in her Honda Accord. Despite her friend’s protest, the young woman huffed the dust remover twice while driving.
While approaching a traffic light, the friends saw the young woman “slump over and hit her head on the steering wheel.” One of the passengers grabbed the wheel, but the Accord hit two other cars before stopping. All three cars were damaged, but the women in the Accord were the only ones injured.
When questioned by officers, the young woman said “she didn’t know what was going on” after huffing while driving.
She was found guilty of two counts of vehicular assault last week.
