An 18-year-old man crashed his car into a guardrail after huffing a spray can of electronic equipment cleaner that he purchased just 10 minutes before.

Police were called for a report of an unconscious driver who had slammed into a guardrail. As police were en route they were notified that three passengers inside the car had ran from the car.

When police arrived they found the 18-year-old, high school senior, sitting on the sidewalk. The man told police he had blacked out and refused any medical treatment.

According to police the man blacked out, crossed a median and hit the guardrail on the opposite side of the road.

The passengers, ranging in ages from 14-16, were waiting at a nearby restaurant for police to arrive. The man had reportedly told his passengers "watch this" before huffing the aerosol can and blacking out.

Police found the can of cleaner and the receipt on the floor of his car. He admitted to inhaling the cleaner.

The man will be charged with illegal use of a solvent and driving under the influence of an inhalant.
