Murder suspect flown to hospital after Kingsport pursuit

Kingsport Police say an attempted murder suspect led police on a chase that ended in a crash with injuries Thursday night. The department said officers became involved in a high-speed pursuit with 20 year old Donovan L. Diggs after they located him in the area of Eastman Road and Fort Henry Drive. Diggs was wanted for attempted first-degree murder charge. The pursuit terminated on John B. Dennis near Moreland Drive when Diggs’ vehicle was “forcefully stopped.” Diggs was flown to a hospital for treatment of injuries and a 16-year-old passenger was also taken to a hospital for what looked to be minor injuries. No one else was injured.
