MILWAUKEE (AP) — The family of a doctor killed last month when a truck’s wheel dislodged and crashed through his windshield has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the Michigan trucker and his employer.

The suit also accuses the separate owners of the truck and trailer of negligence, and claims that a garage that inspected the truck about 30 days before the incident failed to notice the weakened wheel.
