It wasn’t until police hoisted her 2010 sedan up onto a lift that they noticed the small crack on her engine’s manifold.
The crack allowed exhaust gases to leak inside Aubrie’s vehicle, which investigators say led to her death by the so-called silent killer of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Aubrie’s heartbroken parents are now urging other drivers, especially those with older cars, to keep a portable carbon monoxide detector in their vehicle.
They also plan to start a nonprofit organization in Aubrie’s name that will focus on raising awareness about the Carbon Monoxide exposure in cars, Today reported.

I have heard the advice to ensure that a car’s exhaust pipe is clear in blizzards. This is the first I’ve heard of a crack in the exhaust pipe of an old car causing a fatality.
I have a small monitor for when we travel because hotels have several exposure risks. It was cheap, $40 and good for a decade.
Seems like cheap insurance?
