The driver of a single-car crash in Lincoln Park, New Jersey, is "believed" to have passed out behind the wheel after wearing an N-95 mask for too long, police said.
Lincoln Park Police Department responded to an accident on Thursday where a vehicle careened, front bumper first, into a wooden pole. After the officers cleared the scene where the driver was the only occupant of the car, they posted photographs of the crash on their Facebook page with a caption that created an "overwhelming response."
"The crash is believed to have resulted from the driver wearing an N95 mask for several hours and subsequently passing out behind the wheel due to insufficient oxygen intake/excessive carbon dioxide intake," the post read in part.

This will be added to deaths due to Corona virus.
The driver didn’t die, did he?
Total BS.
I have seen dozens of people wearing their masks in their car with the windows closed. A little overkill? If your are that stressed and hysterical about this you shouldn’t even be out. These people, im sure are glued to their TV’s and believing everything these hysteria whores are feeding them. They are probably your neighbors who are making calls to the authorities on your actions
Only in comment 2. :-) Then again, I didn’t see it in the piece, but, journalists.
What a lousy article from, stupid reporters and equally ignorant editors (if there are any, anymore). SO did the dude/dudette pass out and hit a power pole or a wood pile? Is the dude/dudette dead or alive? Pfft! who cares, huh?
It’s like this thing has suddenly become the Andromeda Strain. I’m ready to go lick Waffle House faucets, then do an actual self quarantine, just to try and get this thing over with.
This is TOTAL BS! “Alone” in a car? (Why wear a mask?), the jerk hits a tree (probably because of cell phone use), then grabs the mask and said: “the mask did it!” But you know what’s more stupid? The media believing it.
The intrepid runners in Austin should beware of wearing masks while running, now that it’s hit 95 degrees a couple of times last week. The Yankee mayor didn’t think about that.
We’ve seen it where we are. A head shaker for sure. Maybe at night when the sun ain’t busy killing viruses in the air. LOL! Me, it is not comfy at all and I gotta give credit to folks that need to wear them all day long at work.
Must have an exemption letter for the virus.
I was just at our marina in Ventura where it seems the national pastime is walking. Everywhere I went I saw people walking with masks on. Just 2 people, looked like husbands and wives, walking with masks on. I was the only one not wearing a mask.
Working on my boat I have turned my N95 brown with fine mahogany sawdust. I can wash it out but it’s harder to breath through. I will try some Sport Wash today, which is made to rejuvenate synthetics and leave no residue.
So YOU are the one!? Typhoid sheana. LOL!
Any design choice will result in someone’s death given enough time. All products kill someone eventually.
N95s aren’t easy to breath in/out, especially if you wear glasses.
That would be more accurate than many of the deaths attributed to the Corona virus.
This hysteria...Another sign of our society's feminization as exemplified by the witch Governor of Michigan. This is sick and so stupid. I wear a mask when entering a building or a retail store. It is dumb to wear one when out for a walk or in your automobile. Chalk this corono-virus death up to Idiocracy. Where the plants and vegetables get watered with Brawndo. Here the sheeple's minds get watered with Brawndo by the media.
