UPDATE: Suspect charged with homicide in Kingsport couple’s death released from hospital

While private burials are scheduled for a Kingsport couple killed in an Interstate 40 crash, the suspect who police said caused the wreck has been released from medical care.

Paul Fisher, 22, was taken to jail and has a bond hearing on Monday in Knox County.

A news report said Fisher told a Highway Patrol trooper that he had been drinking alcohol that evening prior to a head-on crash that killed Brian and Brandi Elmore caused by Fisher driving in the wrong direction on the interstate. Fisher is facing multiple charges, including vehicular homicide.

The Kingsport couple were returning from a trip to watch their daughter, a member of the Dobyns Bennett High School Marching Band, perform at a competition in Middle Tennessee when the incident occurred.

Services for the Elmores are set for Sunday and those will be private.
