NEWARK, N.J. — Following a deadly September 2016 train crash at the Hoboken Terminal, New Jersey Transit placed more than 40 engineers on leave after testing positive for sleep apnea, NBC4 reports.
The National Transportation Safety Board later found the engineer of that train suffered from sleep apnea, the report said.
In response, N.J. Transit updated its screening process for sleeping disorders. Fifty-seven of the agency's 373 engineers were referred to a sleep study, and 44 of them were diagnosed with sleep apnea, according to NBC4.
