An Inclusive Litany

10/1/91

In Massachusetts, the mother of a boy who died after crashing a car he stole is suing General Motors and Conrail. The suit claims that the defendants or their agents negligently left the keys in a car in an auto freight yard, and that they "knew or should have known" that people might trespass at the yard because six weeks before stealing the car involved in the crash, the boy had stolen another car from the same yard.
