New Jersey Police on April 24 said a driver who fainted and crashed their car into a power pole may have done so due to “excessive wearing” of an N95 mask.
In a statement on Facebook, the Lincoln Park Police Department said that while it did not know “with 100% certainty,” that the prolonged wearing of the N95 mask was a contributing factor to this accident, “we do know that the driver had been wearing an N95 mask inside the vehicle for several hours and ultimately passed out while operating the vehicle.”
