DUI Suspect Crashes During Police Chase
May 12, 2011
A DUI suspect crashed on Nine Mile Road while attempting to elude an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy about 2:45 this morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 25-year old Joshua Edwin Diggins of Pensacola struck a vehicle in the parking lot of Chan’s on Nine Mile Road.
When an Sheriff’s deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop a short distance away, Diggins fled in a 2001 Dodge Ram. As he attempted to elude the deputy, Diggins crashed into a road sign and culvert at Regions Bank on Nine Mile Road.
Diggins ran, but was apprehended behind the bank. He was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital for treatment of minor facial injuries. DUI charges are pending the results of a blood test, according to the FHP.
A passenger in Diggins’ vehicle, Mitchell Ray Young, 30, of Pensacola, was not injured.
