The Kansas City Chiefs will celebrate their Super Bowl 54 victory over the 49ers with a parade down the streets of Kansas City, Missouri, on Wednesday – but hours before the parade kicked off, a driver who may have been impaired led police on a scary chase down the parade route, as masses of Chiefs fans were gathering.
According to reports, a car drove through a barrier onto the parade route, and refused to stop when police responded, even after multiple police vehicles attempted to box the driver in.

Police were fortunately able to execute a PIT maneuver and apprehend the suspects before any bystanders were hurt.
