Fullerton driver high on nitrous oxide arrested on DUI charges after flipping his car upside down

A driver recently had their life flipped upside down after deciding to inhale nitrous oxide from a NOS tank and then hit the road, according to the Fullerton Police Department.

Fullerton police showed up to a rollover crash at W. Valencia Dr. and S. Edward Ave. When they got there, they found a car flipped onto its roof after colliding into a few parked vehicles. The driver was spotted walking away from the wreck—definitely not the best move.

Witnesses noticed a nitrous oxide tank next to the damaged car, and the driver eventually admitted to using it while driving.

In the end, the driver was arrested for DUI and for having that nitrous oxide tank.

Just a reminder: drugged driving is just as risky as driving after drinking. Drive high, get a DUI.
