KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Knoxville police spent part of Saturday afternoon chasing down a man who caused a wreck and then took off.
Investigators say Matthew Benintende hit a car at the intersection of Magnolia and Mary.
The people in that car had to go to the hospital. They have non-life-threatening injuries.
Benintende fled.
He abandoned his car on I-640 when officers spotted him.
