Video: Police Chase Ends on Chiefs' Parade Route

Two people are in custody after a car drove through a barricade at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade route.

A police car chase briefly disrupted the start of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl parade celebration. A car broke past the barricades and continued driving along the closed road before the pursuit ended with a PIT maneuver near Union Station.

Police took two people into custody and are investigating. No injuries have been reported.

The parade was set to begin at 11:30 a.m. CT but some 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.
