Police in Livingston County are investigating whether inhalants played a role in an early morning car crash that sent two people to the hospital. The driver, a local 18-year old, reportedly passed out behind the wheel of his 1998 Buick at around 9:30 a.m. this morning; “crossing over two lanes of traffic and hitting five cars.” This is the driver’s second such crash in just two weeks.
The unconscious teen “struck two parked cars at the Krug Ford Lincoln & Mercury dealership; subsequently causing the two parked vehicles to ram into three additional parked vehicles” on impact. Emergency workers transported the driver and his 19-year-old passenger to a nearby hospital for treatment. No serious injuries were reported.According to Sherriff Bob Bezotte, the 18-year-old driver is currently “being tested for chemical use as a result of huffing.” It is believed that the two men purchased a can of computer duster cleaner from a local Wal-Mart prior to the crash, as officers discovered an open can of duster in at the scene.
