The investigation remains ongoing, but it is suspected the female may have been in the car with the windows closed, huffing using cans of compressed air and then attempted to light a cigarette. Oftentimes these fumes are highly flammable. The buildup of these fumes inside the car followed by the attempt to light the cigarette appears to have caused an explosion resulting in the injuries to the female and the damage to the vehicle and surrounding vehicles.

If you’re unfamiliar with what huffing is, the National Institute on Drug Abuse describes it as a way in which inhalants —which can be anything from substances that produce fumes like gas or aerosols— are absorbed through the nose and mouth to produce a high, though “huffing” is a generalized term that is “applied to various types of inhalant abuse,” according to the American Addiction Center. Any way you describe it, it’s dangerous.
