DWI and Wreck due to Huffing
Hometown Christian Radio- Wilkesboro, NC
Huffing was the cause of a motor vehicle crash on Sunday in Wilkesboro. A young woman had apparently been huffing a can of dust remover when her car left the roadway and struck a utility pole, just before coming to a stop near the front porch of a nearby house.
A witness to the incident told police that she had walked up the hill to her grandmothers house. When the officer arrived, the young woman was incoherent and had a can of dust remover with her, that she had apparently continued to huff.
She was arrested and charged with DWI and failure to report an accident.
