An Ohio court has declared Ohio State University legally responsible in the death of a Cleveland man who was run over by a medical professor on his way to a work-related conference.

The Ohio Court of Claims said in a ruling last week that the university must pay one-third of the damages assessed in a September 2010 crash in which Rolf Barth, a professor emeritus of pathology at Ohio State’s College of Medicine, struck and killed Junior Lee Lane on Interstate 71 in Cuyahoga County.
