The driver of an involved 2008 Dodge Avenger, identified as 40-year-old Michael Brown of Waterloo, was found at another location away from the accident scene.

Brown was arrested just before 4pm Friday and charged with Driving While Barred, an Aggravated Misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of two years in jail.
