Pennsylvania Woman Convicted of Huffing-Related Fatal Crash

A central Pennsylvania woman accused of huffing dust spray before a fatal car crash has been convicted of third-degree murder.

The Centre Daily Times reports Jurors deliberated for two hours Wednesday before convicting Danielle Packer on 11 of 12 counts.

The 22-year-old Bellefonte woman faces 20 to 40 years in prison on the murder charge. She's also been convicted of homicide by vehicle driving under the influence and involuntary manslaughter.

Prosecutors say Packer was "zombified" after huffing computer dusting spray in a Wal-Mart parking lot about 15 minutes before crashing and killing 25-year-old Matthew Snyder.
