2 NJ Transit Drivers in Lincoln Tunnel Bus Crash That Hurt 44 Taken off Road

Forty-four people were hurt in the Sept. 26 crash, though none of the injuries were considered life-threatening

Two NJ Transit bus drivers whose vehicles collided in the Lincoln Tunnel last month have been taken off the road while the agency investigates the accident. 

Forty-four people were hurt in the Sept. 26 crash, though none of the injuries were considered life-threatening. 

One driver was ticketed for an unsafe lane change. That driver has been with the agency for nearly nine years, while the other driver has been with NJ Transit for nearly three years. 

The drivers' names have not been released. They will be paid while the investigation proceeds but cannot drive buses. 

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says 42 million vehicles use the tunnel every year.
