Jack Beckwith says Gresko was traveling north and the pickup was headed

appears the truck turned left into Gresko's path. No one in the truck
was injured.
Police photos show the driver's side of Gresko's cruiser ripped open and mangled. The truck had little damage.
Gresko was married with a 2-year-old daughter.
Willoughby is about 20 miles northeast of Cleveland.
