A truck driver who died Monday after he was hit by a car on Interstate 65 while trying to help a motorist has been identified as Worth M. Haney.

Haney, 29, of Silver Lake, Ind., died about 4 p.m. at University Hospital after suffering multiple injuries, said R.D. Jones, a deputy Jefferson County coroner. Silver Lake is west of Fort Wayne.

Haney was hit by a car in a southbound lane of I-65 just after 1 p.m. after he pulled over to try to help a woman whose northbound Mazda flipped after hitting the median wall.

Haney was southbound in a tractor-trailer when he pulled over and attempted to run across the lanes of traffic to help, police said.

The woman was taken to a hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening, police said. A baby inside her car was not hurt.

Wisconsin to hear case of five versus dioceses

The Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear the case of five Louisville-area men who tried to sue two Roman Catholic dioceses in Wisconsin, alleging they covered up a teacher's history of abusing children before he sexually abused them as youngsters in Kentucky.

A Wisconsin appeals court ruled last November that a statute of limitations barred the men from suing over the sexual abuse from 1968 to 1973 by Gary Kazmarek, a teacher and coach in the Louisville Archdiocese.

But the high court agreed last week to review the case.

The lawsuit claimed the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and the Diocese of Madison failed to notify police or warn future employers that Kazmarek had a history of sexual abuse before he came to work as a teacher in Louisville.

Kazmarek pleaded guilty in 2003 to sexually abusing Louisville-area boys and is serving a 13-year sentence.

The observatory at Indiana University Southeast will be open from 8:30 to 9:30 every night this week so people can get a look at a comet that became brighter last week.

Gerald Ruth, an IUS professor, said astronomers are "trying to figure out what happened" to make the Holmes comet visible to the naked eye.

The observatory is in the northeast corner of the campus on Grant Line Road near Bald Knob Road.
