A judge has ordered Sergio Marchionne , chief executive for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, to give a deposition in a Georgia lawsuit involving a 4-year-old boy killed in a Jeep fuel-tank fire.
Judge J. Kevin Chason of the Superior Court of Decatur County Georgia denied Fiat Chrysler’s request to exclude the CEO from out-of-court testimony in a court filing Friday and has ordered the company make Mr. Marchionne available for a videotaped, under-oath deposition.
The victim’s family filed the civil suit two years ago after the 4-year-old boy died while sitting in the rear seat of a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. According to lawsuit, the Jeep was struck from behind and the fuel tank ruptured, igniting the gasoline and engulfing the back of the car in flames.
