UVALDE COUNTY -- Authorities in Uvalde County seized more than 60 pounds of marijuana following a high-speed chase that ended in a crash.

Thomas Luna, 23, of Lubbock, was arrested following the chase.

Uvalde County sheriff's deputies said Luna led them on a chase that ended when Luna's red pickup truck barreled into another car.

Deputies then found more than 60 pounds of marijuana inside the truck

Nobody was injured in the wreck.

Authorities said they have dash cam video of the chase but are not releasing it at this time for the safety of others involved in the chase.

They said they are not ruling out the possibility that the bust is part of a bigger Mexican drug cartel ring.
