Cleveland, OH : Cleveland police officer injured in a hit-and-run crash on East 40th Street near Payne Avenue early Friday, December 4, 2015

A Cleveland police officer was treated for a concussion after a truck slammed into the back of his cruiser and sped from the scene.

The crash happened about 3 a.m. Friday on East 40th Street near Payne Avenue in the Goodrich-Kirtland Park neighborhood.

The impact caused the cruiser to spin out. The truck's license plate was left at the scene, police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said.

The license plate led police to an East Side home where the truck was found. A male ran from the home and was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication and obstruction of official business, Ciaccia said.

The male is expected to be charged in the hit-and-run following a crash investigation, she said.

Ciaccia did not immediately know the address of the home where the truck was found.
