Pennsylvania Man's Crash is Inhalant Related

Via Abington Patch

An Elkins Park man, 37,  that was arrested for a crash last month, "had difluoroethane in his system, which is commonly found in electronics duster, police said." 

The man was arrested on March 2nd, after crashing into a utility pole and fleeing in the car.  When police stopped the car, the man had slurred speech, glazy eyes, and was responding slowly to questions.  He did however pass a field sobriety test.   The man's blood tested positive for difluoroethane and he was charged with, "DUI, careless driving and accidents involving damage to property."

According to court documents, the man was arrested two days earlier in a nearby town for, "smelling or inhaling toxic releasing substances, and possession of a solvent for releasing toxic vapors and fumes."
