Teens inhale aerosol, ignite flames in car?


Three teenagers were burned Saturday, one critically, when an aerosol spray they were inhaling to become intoxicated burst into flame inside their car, authorities said.

Two boys, aged 16 and 15, and a 15-year-old girl were in a parked car "inhaling aerosol spray for the purpose of euphoria" when one of them began smoking, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The flame ignited the aerosol, resulting in a "fireball" inside the car, he said.

The girl was taken to Huntington Memorial Hospital where she was listed in critical condition with burns to 27 percent of her body, including her arms, back, and face.
