Woman admits huffing before 3-car crash

ALLENDALE, Mich. (WOOD) - A woman who admitted huffing duster before causing a chain-reaction crash has pleaded guilty.

On Tuesday, Audrey Smith pleaded guilty to reckless driving and prohibited use of a chemical agent.

Smith, 19, admitted to 24 Hour News 8 in December 2012 that she was huffing before the crash near 68th Avenue and Sunset Drive in Allendale.

"The whole way back I was hitting the duster, and I was like, 'I can do this. I can drive,'" Smith said.

She was talking about inhaling the chemical contents of an aerosol product usually used to clean out dust and lint from machine parts.

A warning label on a similar product -- which can be bought just about anywhere -- reads, "Deliberate inhalation of contents of this can is extremely dangerous, can cause loss of consciousness and even death."

Two other drivers were involved in the crash, but no one was seriously hurt.

Sentencing is set for March 26.
