BRATENAHL, Ohio – Police are searching for a man who they say dragged a woman behind his truck, then beat her and ran her over Sunday evening on Eddy Road.

Bratenahl Police Lt. Chuck LoBello said the man and woman collided their vehicles on Eddy Road on the bridge over Interstate 90 shortly before 7 p.m.

It is unclear who was at fault, but LoBello said one of them went through a red light, and the vehicles were involved in a T-bone style collision.

The two got out of their vehicles and exchanged words, Lobello said.

When the man got back in his truck to drive away, LoBello said the woman had either gotten tangled on the outside of his truck or had grabbed onto it, and the man dragged her about 100 feet to the I-90 on-ramp.

“Then he stops the truck,” LoBello said, “and literally beats her – punches her, knocks her to the ground."

Then, LoBello said, the man got back in his truck, and ran over the woman before speeding away.

The woman was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center. LoBello did not know her official condition, but said she was "touch-and-go." He said he could not release her name, but described her as a 27-year-old South Euclid resident.

LoBello said several people saw the incident, “most of whom stopped to aid the woman.” One witness tried to chase the truck eastbound on I-90, but could not keep up and lost track of the truck around the East 152nd Street exit, he said.

LoBello described the suspect as about 6 feet tall with brown hair and a medium build. At the time of the accident, he was wearing blue jeans and a blue jacket. He was driving a white or silver Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with a silver toolbox in the back and likely front-end damage, LoBello said.

Anyone with information about the accident or the suspect is asked to call Bratenahl Police at 216-681-1234.
