5 Year-old Chicago Girl Killed by Driver Huffing Behind the Wheel


Via the Chicago Tribune in Illinois:

An 18 year old Highland Park female has been charged with driving under the influence of an “intoxicating compound” after allegedly driving her car onto a sidewalk and fatally striking a 5 year old girl.

The article lists two other area cases: An 18 year Wonder Lake old male who died after inhaling propane fumes in 2010 and a 19 year old Palatine female who crashed her car after passing out behind the wheel.  It also notes the police in Palatine have noticed an increase in inhalant use in their community.
