Driver leads cops on chase turned tragic

A car chase in the Sandy Springs Community of Anderson County ended with the wreck of the suspect’s car and a fire.  Anderson sheriff’s deputies tried to stop a Ford Fusion for driving recklessly on the Centerville Road, but their attempted stop turned into a chase that ended when the driver, Larry Davelle Cannon Jr., lost control of the car and wrecked in a grass field near LaFrance Road and SC 187—the Wild Hog Road.  The grass began to smolder and caused a grass fire that engulfed the car.  187 was temporarily blocked to thru traffic.  Nineteen-year old Cannon was taken into custody and was jailed on charges of reckless driving and failure to stop for blue lights.
