MADILL, Okla. -- A high speed chase that started in Gunter, Texas, early Thursday afternoon had law enforcement in hot pursuit of two people on a motorcycle, reaching speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour.

Officers said a motorcyclist was driving recklessly and refused to stop near Gunter. Instead, the male driver and a female passenger on the bike took off through Whitesboro north on Highway 377.

Within about 30 minutes, the chase had reached just south of Madill, near U.S. 377 and Highway 32 before the pair was apprehended.

Both the driver and passenger are now in custody. Their names and the exact charges they face have not been released.
