Officers of the Russells Point Police Department responded about 7:15 p.m. to a report of a crash at west Main Street and east Wilgus Drive.
Officers report Mr. Hegemier was operating a pickup truck and was attempting to make a right-hand turn onto Main Street from Wilgus Drive. He reportedly turned too wide and went left of center and struck a sport utility vehicle operated by Amy Book, 38, of Russells Point.
Ms. Book was accompanied by three minor children. No injuries were reported.

He was later released to a family member without incident.
