AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Law enforcement has arrested a suspect after a police chase that ended in Amarillo.

Multiple agencies including the Oldham County Sheriff’s Office, DPS and the Potter County Sheriff’s Office were involved in the chase.

According to Potter County Sheriff Brian Thomas, the chase started just 13 miles away from the New Mexico and Texas state line in Oldham County.

Oldham County officials say they received a call around 1 p.m. about an erratic driver on I-40.

Officials say they later received more calls saying the driver was ramming into multiple semi’s along I-40, including a semi that was hauling cars, going around 115 mph to 120 mph on the road.
