North Carolina Motel Guests Exposed to Carbon Monoxide, Hospitalized
Eight people at a Raleigh, N.C. motel have been taken to a hospital after being exposed to carbon monoxide from a faulty water heater.
Raleigh Fire Department Division Chief James Poole told the News & Observer of Raleigh on Tuesday that investigators found a heavy concentration of carbon monoxide in the laundry room of a Super 8 motel. The broken water heater was in the room.
Emergency workers found out about the leak just before 4:30 a.m. Tuesday when five hotel guests in a vehicle flagged down an ambulance and said they were sick. Workers determined they had symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and took them to WakeMed’s Raleigh campus.
Emergency workers evacuated the 37 people in the motel. Three more people were taken to WakeMed for treatment.
