Man driving dump truck accused of running into pickup driven by his wife

UPDATE: A Marion man was arrested Wednesday after police said he intentionally rammed a dump truck into a pickup driven by his wife.

Adam Ruiz, 28, of 2751 Regal Court, was charged with domestic assault with a weapon after the incident. No one was hurt in the crash.

Around 1:20 p.m. Wednesday, a witness reported a hit-and-run near Sixth Street and 58th Avenue SW. Police met with Ruiz' wife and determined Ruiz caused the crash by crossing the center line.

Ruiz, who also goes by Adan Ruiz, was taken to the Linn County Jail. A no-contact order has been issued, according to online court records.
