Some of the signals had not been replaced since 1918 and were prone to malfunctions. The NTSB investigation found that, assuming a train had been stopped at the point where the M train had halted prior to the collision, an operator would have been able to see the back of the stopped train at the point where Gibson passed the red signal. 1998: 218:(NTSB) announced that it would investigate the incident. The investigation found that the Williamsburg Bridge crash had occurred because Gibson had been fatigued. He had been near the end of an 8-hour overnight shift when the crash occurred. Gibson's blood had tested negative for drugs and alcohol, and the NTSB found that there were no other major distractions at the time, including loud noise from passengers. 620: 263:(MTA) that operated the subway system, conducted its own investigation and concluded that the Williamsburg Bridge signals were spaced too closely together. A lack of communication between different divisions of the NYCTA was also blamed for the crash since the conditions that caused the crash had been known as early as 1993. 266:
Because of the incident, the MTA modified both track signals and train cars to lower trains' average speeds. Trains' maximum speeds on straight track segments were throttled from 55 miles per hour (89 km/h) to 40 miles per hour (64 km/h), and the MTA installed "grade-time" signals around the system

on the J train and on the trackside were supposed to strike each other when the J train passed the red signal, triggering the emergency braking system on the train. However, on the day of the crash, the rods failed to align, and so the emergency brakes on the J train were not engaged.

Overall, Gibson was not known as a particularly bad driver: in his 14 years of operating subway trains, he only received three "minor operating violations" for failing to align the train with the platform. 298:. Both car types had similar exterior dimensions, so the MTA paired together the undamaged mates of the destroyed cars, 4460 and 4665. After retirement, this pair was preserved by Railway Preservation Corp. and is now stored at Coney Island Yard. 181:
was running westbound across the Williamsburg Bridge, headed toward Manhattan, when the motorman encountered a red signal and stopped the train. The M train had been forced to stop because an unscheduled work train was directly in front of it.

to ensure that a train could only travel under a certain maximum speed before it was allowed to proceed. This modification of signals led to increases in train delays around the system, which in turn was a contributing factor to
