FOX 2, Howell, Mich.Following a driver who reportedly inhaled a nitrous oxide whippet and slammed into their father’s car, killing him, a family still grieving the loss of a loved one is suing many smoke shops.

The backstory

More than two years after his death in a highway accident, Eugene Glavin, who his family called “Papa G,” is still missed by his daughter Jessica Hallford and her kids.

“He was such a bright light in our lives, and I want that to be how my children remember him,” she continued. “As tragic and awful as this is I don t want his death to be in vain.”

What they’re saying:

She is now suing several smoke shops and the estate of 21-year-old Colin Cramar, who allegedly passed out after inhaling nitrous while driving on I-96 in Howell, in conjunction with the Ven Johnson Law Firm.

According to the law firm, he struck Jessica’s father head-on after crossing the median.

Despite all the assistance that arrived, Glavin died from his injuries even though he was still alive on the site immediately following the November 2022 crash.

According to investigators, the unconscious driver passed away at the scene as well. According to officials, a massive canister known as Hippie Whippy was in Cramar’s lap when police arrived.

Next steps:

In order to draw attention to what they claim is the misuse of nitrous oxide canisters, which are frequently used for cake decorating and whipping cream, the lawsuit names a number of smoke shops, including Mr. Vapor of Howell, multiple Wild Bill’s Tobacco locations, and others.

Jessica’s family makes an effort to preserve the priceless memories in the interim.
