Multiple Crashes Caused by Driver Huffing Behind the Wheel in New York

Via CNYCentral in New York:

A 39 year old man was arrested after an inhalant abuse related crash.  He “lost control of the vehicle, then accelerated and crashed into a vehicle that was parked in a driveway and nearly struck a man who was shoveling near the vehicle.”
He then continued to accelerate and crashed into an apartment building, causing major damage before “continuing out of control across the roadway, nearly colliding with another building before coming to a rest.”  The tenants in the apartment building were “trapped inside their apartment for a short while until they could be rescued through a sealed doorway to another adjoining apartment."
When a deputy from the Sheriff’s office responded he found the man huffing from a can of computer duster.  The man responded he was nervous after the crash so he started huffing in order to deal with the stress. He was arrested and taken to a mental health center for evaluation.
