An Iowa City man was arrested on a felony charge related to a two-vehicle crash that happened in Washington County on the evening of March 1st. According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, on Tuesday authorities arrested 28-year old Dunia Petro and transported him to the Washington County Jail. 

He is charged with serious injury by vehicle, a class D felony, and driving while license denied or revoked, a serious misdemeanor. He is also charged with open container and driving on the wrong side of a two-way highway. 

The charges stem from a wreck that happened on G36. According to court records, the accident investigation conducted by the Iowa State Patrol determined that Petro’s vehicle crossed the center line and hit another vehicle head-on. The other driver sustained serious bodily injury with a broken leg and fractures in their back.

Petro was taken by ambulance to the University of Iowa Hospital.  A blood alcohol test approximately four hours after the collision showed Petro’s blood alcohol level at .178.

A hearing date has not yet been announced.
