Fans were out in Kansas City celebrating the Chiefs big win, and ahead of the parade, they were shocked to see a police chase enter in the area of where the parade was being held.
41 Actions News shared videos from onlookers who witnessed the chase, which ended on the parade’s grounds. According to Sports Illustrated, police took two people into custody and are still investigating the incident. However, no injuries have been reported.
The parade was scheduled to begin at 11:30 am CT, and fans were already lined up along the route when the chase started. A green sedan made its way past a barrier on the north end of the route before making its way down most of the length of the parade route.

Mayor Quinton Lucas took to Twitter and said, “Appreciate the quick action of the @kcpolice ending a chase of a suspected impaired driver at the parade route. We’ll stay vigilant about the threats like these throughout the day.”
