An investigation is underway after a Knox County Sheriff’s Office Deputy attempted to stop a car on Chapman Highway for a traffic violation when the suspect fled and crashed into a South Knoxville business.

It happened last night (Sunday), in the 6200 block of Chapman Highway at the former Kay’s Ice Cream.

The driver, who has outstanding warrants, was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. The restaurant was closed at the time of the incident, and there are no other injuries. The driver is now facing additional charges in addition to the outstanding warrants.
