HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A police chase that started with a man suspected for possible drug activity at a Huntington hotel ended with the suspect under arrest up on Interstate 64.

Officers caught Diego L. Hansard near the 13 mile marker in the westbound lanes.

Investigators say they spotted their suspect driving on 8th Avenue--where the chase began.

Cabell County Sheriff Tom McComas says Hansard was going as fast as 80 mph, and driving the opposite way down Route 60.

During the pursuit, another motorist crashed into a Cabell County Deputy's car near the 29th Street entrance ramp. The deputy had minor injuries.

McComas tells WSAZ.com that the suspect hit several other vehicles during the pursuit. Those drivers also suffered minor injuries.

We're told the suspect's hotel room was under surveillance for crack cocaine activity.

The chase started around 2:30 p.m. Friday.

Hansard is a native of Canal Winchester, Ohio, a southeast suberb of Columbus.

WSAZ.com has learned Hansard will be charged with Possession With Intent to Deliver, two counts of Fleeing With Bodily Injury, Felony Assault on a Police Officer, as well as several misdemeanor traffic charges.

McComas says he has reason to believe Hansard threw a weapon out of his car at some point. Police are asking anyone in the Huntington area who may have found a handgun to contact the Cabell County Sheriff's Department.
