Three Hospitalized After Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Munich Camper

A language barrier delayed the emergency response, as the incident required a relay of calls through Italy before local authorities were alerted.

Two women and one man suffered severe carbon monoxide poisoning in a camper parked near Munich's Riemer See on Thursday evening.
The poisoning occurred due to inadequate ventilation while using a gas stove inside the confined space of the vehicle.
The 54-year-old man, unable to call for help due to a language barrier, contacted a friend in Verona, Italy, who relayed the emergency through multiple dispatch centers before reaching Munich authorities.
When emergency services arrived, the man was found dazed outside the camper, while the two unconscious women, aged 28 and 53, were rescued from inside.
All three individuals were hospitalized with serious injuries, while a dog found in the camper was taken to a shelter and did not require medical care.
