There was a wild scene in North Texas this morning.

Texoma’s Homepage is reporting that a semi-truck hauling a flatbed trailer led law enforcement agencies from multiple counties on a high-speed chase, reaching speeds of over 100 miles per hour.

The rig eventually slowed down to around 40 miles an hour when the hood came up and the right front tire was shredded after most likely running over spike strips.
