Kansas City, Mo. ? The family of former Kansas City Chiefs standout Derrick Thomas is not entitled to any money from General Motors Corp. for the January 2000 crash that killed the nine-time Pro Bowl linebacker, a jury ruled Tuesday.

Thomas’ mother, Edith Morgan, his seven children and their five mothers sued GM, seeking at least $73 million. They claimed Thomas was fatally injured when the roof of his Chevrolet Suburban caved in during the crash.

But the automaker’s attorneys said during the monthlong trial that Thomas was driving too fast for the snowy conditions, and was ejected from the sport utility vehicle because he was not wearing his seat belt.

One of Thomas’ seven children — 8-year-old Alexa Harmon-Thomas — lives in Lawrence with her mother, Kelly Harmon.
