An Oklahoman woman is facing charges over a February crash that killed a teen riding in her car.
Sutton Petz had allegedly fainted at the wheel after inhaling nitrous oxide whippets when her 2016 Jeep Wrangler veered off the road, went airborne, and crashed into several trees before landing on its side.
Petz’ passenger, 18-year-old Maddix Bias, was killed in the crash.
Now, the 28-year-old faces charges of first-degree manslaughter and driving under the influence causing serious bodily harm.
Bias was a Tecumseh High School graduate and a student at Gordon Cooper Technology Center for Carpentry and Masonry.
“He was a teddy bear, and he was just lovable. And his favorite thing to do was to make people laugh. He got no greater joy than to make people laugh.”
