James Winner, who invented The Club anti-car-theft device, died after an automobile crash in western Pennsylvania on Tuesday, the Associated Press is reporting. He was 81.


Quote from the article:

I Initial reports from the Clarion County Coroner's office state that Sharon businessman James E. Winner Jr. died after the accident. Coroner Terry Shaffer said preliminary autopsy results for Winner, 81, indicate that he died from blunt force trauma to the trunk. A full autopsy and blood toxicology results may take several weeks, he said. Pennsylvania State Police reported that Winner was driving his Lexus north on Miola Road in Highland when, for unknown reasons, he crossed the centerline into the southbound lane around 4:40 p.m., striking a Chevrolet Blazer driven by Bobby Jarrett, 82, of Tionesta, Forest County. Shaffer said there is a curve in the road where the accident occurred. They are not ruling out alcohol or use of a cell phone as a cause for the accident, he added.
