dusting eh?



MISHAWAKA — Stirring from unconsciousness in his crumpled Honda sedan Thursday, a 17-year-old Wakarusa boy treated onlookers to what might be the understatement of the year.
"We're here," he murmured.
The teen and his 17-year-old female companion made a spectacular and scary entrance to a McKinley Avenue shopping center shortly before 3 p.m. when, according to police reports, their car flew across four lanes of traffic, clipped one parked car, then struck another with enough force to send it through the front window and wall of a cellular phone dealership.
The cause of the crash? The young driver admitted that he had been "dusting" -- a slang term for inhaling the compressed air and propellant from a canned product used for dusting computer keyboards and other electronics, according to police.
