DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. — Editor's Note: The above video is from a separate incident.

Davidson County deputies say they arrested a man after he led them on a high-speed chase that ended in a crash.

Detectives say around 3 a.m. Wednesday, October 30, they tried to stop a man driving 97-mph in a 55-mph zone, but he just sped up and led officers on a high-speed chase through Thomasville. 

At one point, they say he was driving 120 mph in a 35-mph zone. That's when the car lost control and crashed onto railroad tracks, almost bringing the chase to an end. Deputies say the man got out of the car and tried to run away, but was eventually caught close to the crash scene. 

29-year-old Diontae McNeair was arrested. He's facing multiple charges including reckless driving, possession of a stolen vehicle, and stop sign violation.
