Elderly Greenwich woman overcome by carbon monoxide trying to stay warm in car

A Greenwich resident was rushed to the hospital after her son found her unconscious in her car.

It is believed the elderly woman turned to her car for heat after her power went out at her home on Hollow Wood Lane due to Hurricane Sandy.

Her son found her Thursday afternoon unresponsive in her car with the engine running and the garage door closed.

The Pemberwick woman was rushed to the hospital, where she was treated for carbon monoxide.
