One man is in jail Wednesday morning after leading officers on a chase that caused nearly half a dozen crashes in northwest Oklahoma City, police said.

Police said the suspect was driving on the service road before crashing through a fence in an attempt to get onto Interstate 44, popping the tires on his car.
