New York teenager injured after huffing and driving
Via Press Republican in New York
On July 12, a teenager huffing behind the wheel was injured after he passed out and maneuvered his vehicle into a tree. A woman called the police to report two young men that she believed were abusing drugs in a 2004 Jeep Cherokee parked in Plattsburgh. As police were on their way to the scene, the car had driven away and headed to the South turnpike. A witness followed the vehicle and observed the car driving into the East shoulder of the turnpike and hit several mailboxes. The car swerved across lanes before hitting a tree on the East side. The driver, a 17-year-old male, was behind the wheel and had blacked out. He was taken to the hospital for chest injuries that he sustained in the crash.

3 Teens Injured after Crash
Via the Beatrice Daily Sun in Nebraska:
A 17-year-old boy and his two passengers were hospitalized after a car crash Saturday night.
Police learned that the teenager was huffing when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a mall sign. The teenager and his 14-year-old brother were taken to the hospital in an ambulance. A 17-year-old who was sitting in the passenger's seat was taken to the hospital in a helicopter.
The teen will likely face criminal charges, including willful reckless driving and use of inhalants. A local police officer observed, "People are wondering what these people are thinking when they do stuff like this. And that's just the thing--they're not thinking. And people get killed when others don't think."

Teen Crashes into a House after Huffing
Via TimesDaily.com in Alabama:
A teenager who huffed and drove led police in a car chase before crashing into a house.
Police received reports that there was a man in a parking lot with a gun, and when they arrived on the scene they saw the teenager sitting in a car. When police approached the car, the teen backed into a police car and fled the parking lot, hitting another parked car in the process.
The teen then led police on a car chase, with one officer saying that the teen "almost hit several cars and almost caused a number of wrecks." The teen lost the police by weaving in and out of streets, but then the teen's vehicle "knocked down a street light pole, ran through a yard and the car then flipped on its side and ended up on the front porch of the residence."
No one was injured during the chase and the crash, and the teen admitted to huffing six cans of electronic duster earlier and one can while driving. The teen is being charged with, among other things, attempting to elude police and driving while under the influence.

Three Dead in Huffing-Related Car Crash, Teen Arrested
Via KWQC in Illinois:
A Toulon, Illinois teenager was arrested last Thursday night for aggravated DUI and reckless homicide. Last November, the teen was driving with four friends when he passed out after huffing electronic duster. He lost control of the vehicle, and the car "hit a mailbox, vaulted into 114 feet into the air, and crashed nose first into the ground."
Three of the passengers who were not wearing seatbelts were thrown from the car and died. The driver and one passenger survived.
Even though police cannot test for huffing the way they test for drugs and alcohol, investigators decided that the evidence and witnesses were sufficient to press charges. The teen could face up to 28 years in prison if convicted.
The deaths have deeply affected the community of Toulon, IL, with one resident saying, "If you don't know the boys directly, you know their mother or their uncle, you know somebody in their family is affected."

Huffing Refrigerant Can Freeze Lungs, Cause Brain Damage
via KING 5 in Washington
A shocking new trend has emerged among teens: huffing refrigerant, the gas found in air conditioning systems. Refrigerant causes a quick high similar to alcohol intoxication. Gail Henry says it’s not worth it – her 18-year-old son was found dead after huffing refrigerant. Huffing the gas can make your lungs freeze, cause frostbite to your airway, a loss of consciousness, sudden cardiac death, and brain damage.
Some air conditioning service businesses report customers call believing they have a refrigerant leak only to find out someone has been siphoning off the gas.

Ace Congratulates SAFE
Congratulations to Substance Abuse Free Environment Inc. (SAFE) for being selected as one of the recipients of the 2010 National Exemplary Award for Innovative Substance Abuse Prevention Programs, Practices and Policies! SAFE received the award for its inhalant abuse prevention initiative.
SAFE began its education efforts in the Virginia community of Chesterfield in 1999. Though inhalant abuse was not a well-known issue, data showed inhalants were abused at an alarming rate among local eighth graders.
According to the recent Prevention Needs Assessment Survey, SAFE’s work has helped to reduce this rate. Over the past five years (2005 to 2010), SAFE has reduced lifetime use of inhalants among eighth graders by 44%! Furthermore, use of inhalants in this community during the past 30 days has also dropped by 64% since 2005. To see the entire survey, please click here.
This is a great accomplishment for SAFE and the community their work continues to impact! For more information about their educational programs or to read about how SAFE has inspired hundreds of community volunteers over the years, please visit www.chesterfieldsafe.org.
