Police believe Kirstyen Ausenbaugh blacked out before losing control of her car.

Papillion police believe a young woman was huffing when she lost control of her car, jumped a fifteen-foot ledge and smashed into a parking lot on 84th Street.

Papillion Lieutenant Chris Whitted says huffing has many dangers: "Diethelfluorothane is a compound commonly found in computer cleaning sprays, and that's what gives people an instant high."

Police believe Kirstyen Ausenbaugh blacked out before losing control of her car. She's being charged with intoxication and reckless driving.
