A Texas jury said on Thursday a General Motors ignition switch, linked to nearly 400 injuries and deaths, was not to blame for a fatal 2011 crash, according to a company statement.
The verdict in Harris County, Texas, was the second in favor of GM this year in lawsuits over the now recalled ignition switch.
Plaintiff Zachary Stevens alleged that a defective switch caused him to lose control of his 2007 Saturn Sky and crash into another vehicle, killing the other driver. GM said his reckless driving was at fault.
