KKansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl parade got off to a start nobody expected on Wednesday — it kicked-off with a high-speed chase along the route.
Folks in Kansas City had already begun to line-up along the route Wednesday morning — the actualparade wasn't scheduled to begin until 12:30 p.m. ET — as a silver sedan led police on a chase.
It was a truly wild site: police worked to spin the vehicle to a stop using a PIT maneuver as parade-goers scrambled away from the chase.

Shortly after the chase went viral, Kansas City's police department tweeted: "Two suspects in custody. Resume celebrating!"
Later, the department followed up with more information in a statement.
"A vehicle broke through the parade barrier on the north side of the route at 8:12 a.m.," police said. "All officers on the route were immediately alerted."
Police said it first tried to stop the car by deflating its tires before using the PIT maneuver to spin it out. There were no reported injuries. That's exceptionally fortunate, considering the driver was chased-down along streets narrowed for the parade with pedestrians nearby.
It seems the whole ordeal was just a strangely timed car chase.
"The driver is under investigation for impairment," police said. "A search of the vehicle revealed no weapons, and there were no indications of terrorist activity.
The Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20, on Sunday to earn the franchise’s first Super Bowl win in 50 years. Kansas City will finally get to celebrate, even if the party started in a truly strange fashion.
“I just thought this can’t be happening,” parade attendee Shawn McMullen told the Kansas City Star.
