Running a car engine in an enclosed space is dangerous

This tragedy once again demonstrated that running a car engine in a closed garage or a place with limited air circulation is extremely dangerous.

Carbon monoxide can accumulate unnoticed. Therefore, if you notice a car running in an enclosed space, it is necessary to immediately turn off the engine, open the doors, and take people out into fresh air.

We express our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased. In your opinion, how should safety controls in garages be strengthened to prevent such tragedies?
