PITTSBURGH – A Pennsylvania auto dealership has filed preliminary objections in a survival and wrongful death lawsuit brought against it and General Motors, after the plaintiff’s son was burned alive and killed in an accident. Bonnie Winkler (as the administratrix of the estate of Joseph M. Winkler) of Penfield first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Nov. 23 versus General Motors, LLC of Wilmington, Del. and Kurt Johnson Auto Sales, of DuBois. “On Dec. 29, 2019, Joseph Winkler was the driver and operator of the Chevy Cruze, which was an automobile designed, developed, manufactured, tested, assembled, and/or distributed by defendant GM. On that date, the Chevy Cruze was traveling south on SR-255 and traveled off the west side of the roadway,” the suit stated.
