In 2008, two Lincoln County teenagers were killed in a horrific car accident when the vehicle they were riding in “went airborne, flipped, and landed on top of them.” Accident reports reveal that a total of six teens were present in the car at the time of the crash. The vehicle’s driver, who was behind the wheel despite having a suspended license passed out and lost control of the car after “using an inhalant to get high.”More than a year has passed and no charges have been filed against the young driver. A mother who lost her daughter in the crash is speaking out and demanding legal action be taken against the responsible party. She believes the driver was under the influence of inhalants- computer duster when he lost control; claiming several of the teen passengers (her daughter included) to have been ‘huffing’ the cleaner and “getting dusted” prior to the accident.
Toxicology tests found traces of diflouroethane (a chemical found in computer duster) in the driver’s blood, but no criminal charges have been pressed. Eight cans of computer duster were reportedly found at the crash scene. The Lincoln County District Attorney is currently reviewing the accident report and is expected to rule on whether enough evidence is available “to prove a crime was committed” sometime next week.
