Investigators Say Sleep Disorders Likely Caused N.J., Brooklyn Rail Crashes


Federal safety investigators said Tuesday that undiagnosed sleep apnea suffered by two train engineers likely resulted in two crashes that killed one woman in Hoboken, N.J., and injured others in Brooklyn, N.Y. The National Transportation Safety Board board met Tuesday and voted 3-0 to accept a special investigation report that identified the fatigue disorder as the “probable cause” for the crashes in Hoboken and Brooklyn that took place in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
