Last car to roll off assembly line at Ohio GM plant

LORDSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — A sprawling General Motors' assembly plant near Youngstown will be idled on Wednesday after more than 50 years producing cars and other vehicles, a move that will eliminate nearly 1,700 hourly positions by months' end.

GM announced in December that Lordstown along with three plants in the U.S. and one in Canada would close at some point this year.
