<p>HOBOKEN, N.J. — NJ Transit has reached settlements in lawsuits filed by the family of a woman killed and people injured in a 2016 crash when a train slammed into a Hoboken, New Jersey, station.</p>
<p>NJ Transit spokesperson Nancy Snyder said settlements were reached in the lawsuits on Wednesday evening, NJ.com <a href="https://www.nj.com/news/2021/05/nj-transit-settles-lawsuits-from-fatal-2016-hoboken-train-crash.html">reported</a>.</p>
<p>The agency did not specify the amounts of the settlements, but said each was more than $500,000.</p>
<p>Fabiola Bittar de Kroon was killed by falling debris in the Sept. 29, 2016, crash. The 34-year-old Brazil-born lawyer was in the station after having just dropped off her 2-year-old daughter at day care.</p>
<p>The other people who settled lawsuits with the agency for injuries were Sheldon Kest, of Tenafly; Deepti Chanana Bhalla, of Hoboken; and Bagyalakshmi Subramaniam, of Bergenfield.</p>
<p>Attorneys Tom Kline and Bob Mongeluzzi, who represented the De Kroon family, Subramaniam and Kest, said their clients were trying to move on with their lives.</p>
<p>“They remain hopeful that NJ Transit will undertake and continue to undertake the necessary safety measures and precautions to ensure a tragedy like the fatal train crash at Hoboken never happens again,” they said in a statement.</p>
<p>More than 100 people were injured in the crash. Investigators found that the engineer <a href="https://apnews.com/article/4bcf45ec144940a3b80723bf97aebd18">suffered from sleep apnea</a>.</p>
<p>NJ Transit has since increased medical screenings for personnel and installed positive train control systems.</p>
