LENOIR CITY, Tenn. (WATE) — A police pursuit in Loudon County Saturday morning ended when a vehicle crashed into a Lenoir City radio station.

Around 9:30 a.m., the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office said a patrol officer attempted to make a traffic stop in the Martel area of Lenoir City, but the driver refused to stop. The officer then followed the vehicle as it turned onto Highway 11 and then down Broadway toward the Justice Center.
