Leis drove a 2005 Hyundai Elantra west on Upper Miamisburg Road around 8:45 p.m. on Aug. 13 when he turned right onto Soldiers Home Miamisburg Road.
He went left of center and hit a 2009 Ford F-150 in the left turn lane, a Miamisburg Police crash report said.
Medics transported the 61-year-old pickup driver to Kettering Health Main Campus with minor injuries.
Leis was not hurt. However, his passenger, a 36-year-old Miamisburg woman, the registered owner of the car he drove, was hospitalized with serious injuries. His Blood-Alcohol Level tested at 0.284, which is more than three times Ohio’s legal driving limit, the crash report said.
Leis also had a suspended license at the time of the crash.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
