SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. — A South Carolina man faces a long list of charges after a Labor Day crash in the Smoky Mountains foothills that sent 18 people to hospitals.

Randy D. Zlobec of Myrtle Beach was held in Sevierville in lieu of $250,000 bond. He faces charges including three counts of aggravated assault, vehicular assault, DUI, failure to stop and render aid, reckless driving, criminal impersonation and not wearing a seatbelt.

The Knoxville News Sentinel reported the 34-year-old Zlobec was arrested after he fled the crash scene and waded across the nearby Little Pigeon River.

Three victims remained in a hospital on Tuesday.

Police said Zlobec's pickup truck rear-ended a car on Highway 66, causing a crash that involved six vehicles.
