More than 40 people have been rushed to hospital after a gas leak at a hotel in Canada.
Authorities confirmed 46 people have been treated at hospital, and at least 15 of them are in a critical condition after a carbon monoxide leak at a Super 8 hotel in Winnipeg.
John Lane, chief of the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service, said emergency crews were called to the hotel on Tuesday morning when an automatic alarm showed there was carbon monoxide gas.
Mr Lane says 52 people, including staff, were at the hotel.
He said of those taken to the hospital, 15 are listed in critical condition, five as unstable and five as stable.
The chief says that "none of the patients were requiring resuscitation, none of them were incubated or anything".
Manitoba Hydro shut off gas to the building and is working to determine the cause of the leak.
