Parents of ‘Star Trek’ Actor to Sue Chrysler Over Freak Accident

Date:

Anton Yelchin’s parents file a lawsuit against Chrysler Fiat after freak accident.

The parents of Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the makers of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, an SUV that had been recalled when it crushed and killed the 27-year-old actor in a freak accident at his Los Angeles, California home.

Victor and Irina Yelchin filed the wrongful-death and product-liability lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler, the car manufacturer of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The suit argues that the gear selector in the Star Trek actor’s 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee was defective and poorly designed.

“It’s against nature when parents bury their own child. That’s why we hope this lawsuit will make other families never go through the same hell we are going through right now,” Victor Yelchin said at a news conference in Los Angeles, according to the LATimes.

“Anton Yelchin was crushed and lingered alive for some time, trapped and suffocating until his death,” the lawsuit states.
