Oregon Teen Faces Lawsuit After Driving While Under Influence of Inhalants

Via: The Chronicle Online

St. Helens, OR - An 18-year-old, Kody Allen, has been sued for 3 million dollars after committing vehicular manslaughter while under the influence of nitrous oxide. Other defendants that were named were Allen's parents and the owner of the tobacco store where Allen purchased the nitrous oxide. Allen obtained the nitrous oxide from inhaling whipped cream chargers from the tobacco store. He then inhaled them and drove a mile before swerving and killing 34-year-old Arthur Studer. Allen's parents were named, as they are the ones who own the car and are thus liable for his negligence. The owner of the tobacco store was named since Allen was a frequent customer of the store and the owner should have know what Allen's intentions were with the nitrous oxide. The store owner also did not provide Allen any warning for the dangers and side effects.
