An Anderson County Sheriff’s deputy was hit by a car while in a foot pursuit of a wanted Federal Fugitive in Oliver Springs last night. We have very little information at this time other than it was a foot pursuit with a wanted Federal fugitive.

The deputy was airlifted to UT Medical Center with a leg injury, but at the time didn’t seem life threatening, according to Oliver Springs Interim Police Chief David Laxton.
