One man is in custody Sunday morning after leading police on a high-speed for more than 100 miles, according to local reports.

The pursuit topped out at more than 115 mph, starting just outside a Beaumont restaurant and ending on the Southwest Freeway in Houston.

The chaos kicked off after the owner of a pickup truck parked outside Logan’s Roadhouse saw someone trying to steal his truck – and ran outside and leaped in the truck bed, according to KTRK.

The victim hung on to the back of the truck till the chase ended near Bissonnet. The suspect was taken into custody and troopers brought him back to Beaumont to face charges.

Miraculously, no one was hurt in the long-distance chase.
