From NTV News in Nebraska
Yet another life has been claimed in connection with faulty inhalant consumption. Last week an elderly woman was hit and killed by a chemically intoxicated driver, while picking fruit.
Police reports reveal that the driver- high on computer duster, lost control of his pick up truck and struck the elderly victim. A can of computer keyboard duster was found in the driver’s car along with a receipt validating its purchase; a mere 11 minutes earlier.
The incident has elicited a firestorm of community discussion prompting local drug and alcohol treatment officials to take direct action; exposing the dangerous and life threatening consequences of ‘huffing.’ Efforts have also sought to enhance parental awareness of the domestic risks associated with inhalant abuse.
