Carbon monoxide poisoning leaves Sacramento mother, 2 children in critical condition
SACRAMENTO — A mother and her two children were all left in critical condition following a carbon monoxide incident at a Sacramento apartment complex, officials said Tuesday.
The Sacramento Fire Department said the woman called 911, and when first responders arrived, she was found unconscious. This happened at around 3 p.m. along Center Parkway in south Sacramento.
The two children were between the ages of 3 and 7. All three suffered carbon monoxide poisoning and were hospitalized in critical condition.
Sacramento Fire said a gas generator was running inside the apartment unit and produced the carbon monoxide gas.
The unit directly above was evacuated.
