BALDWIN - A rural Bellevue man faces charges after hitting a pedestrian with his truck... and then driving off.

It happened on Highway 64 in Baldwin, just before 9:30 Sunday night. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office says 22-year-old Steven Dunn was driving eastbound when he hit 33-year-old Justin Dies of Dubuque.

Dies was taken to the Jackson County Regional Health Center in Maquoketa, then transferred to University Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City.

Law enforcement later caught up with Dunn. He is charged with operating while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident, and causing serious injury.
