Texas Woman Accused of Huffing, Wrecking Car, and Killing Two
Via The Dallas Morning News- Frisco Blog
A 21-year old woman from Texas was charged last week with two counts of manslaughter in the deaths of a 38-year old woman and her 2 year old daughter. The woman is suspected of huffing compressed air while driving, blacking out, and causing a head-on collision on December 16, 2012.
The woman crossed the 15-foot median and collided with a minivan that held a woman and her two daughters (one daughter survived the accident). Both vehicles landed on their sides and had extensive damage.
"The woman told investigators at the scene that she had just come the Wal-Mart less than two miles away and blacked out while driving, according to the affidavit that accompanied her arrest warrant." Investigators found that she had purchased industrial strength compressed air from the Wal-Mart. "According to the affidavit, the compressed air contains a chemical called difluoroethane R-152a that can give a 'quick high' when inhaled. Side effects include nausea, headache, confusion and loss of consciousness, according to the affidavit."
Manslaughter is a second-degree felony. If convicted, the woman could face two to 20 years in prison.
