Charges To Be Filed In Duster Accident
From The News Tribune in Washington
Criminal charges are expected to be filed against a 20-year-old Washington woman for her involvement in a three-car collision last October. According to police reports, Kristina Vogt passed out behind the wheel after ‘huffing’ computer duster with friends- prompting her vehicle to swerve into oncoming traffic at speeds of more than 60 mph.
In an attempt to regain control of the vehicle, Vogt’s front seat passenger grabbed the wheel but was unable to avoid striking an oncoming truck. Vogt will likely be charged with “vehicular assault for causing the crash and injuring two passengers in her car.” No other injuries were reported.
Following extensive police questioning, Vogt admitted to ‘huffing’ computer duster prior to the accident; telling officers she and her two female passengers had purchased the duster from a local store and had been inhaling the contents in a nearby parking lot. Officers later recovered three canisters of duster from the vehicle. Police have also confirmed that samples of Vogt’s blood collected after the crash show traces of “marijuana and an ingredient commonly found in dust removers.”

Unconscious Driver Causes Crash
From The Bellingham Herald in Washington
A 20-year-old female has been summoned to appear in court after she caused a three car crash on the night of October 29th. The young woman was allegedly ‘huffing’ computer duster prior to the crash with two female passengers, when she lost consciousness and crossed into oncoming lanes of traffic, striking a pick up truck head on and rear-ending a minivan. Police have cited the 20-year-old on “suspicion of vehicular assault.” No life threatening injuries were reported, but one of the passengers was “ejected from the car, suffered bruising, a 5- to 8-inch gash on her neck, a broken bone and internal injuries.”
Upon further investigation, police have learned that the three females did in fact purchase a can of computer dust remover from a local store prior to the crash- which they ‘huffed’ in a nearby parking lot. One of the female passengers told police she tried to take the can away from the 20-year-old driver; even grabbing the steering wheel in an attempt to navigate through traffic after her friend passed out behind the wheel- “but didn't remember crashing.”
