Police Chase Pickup Towing 70-Foot Mobile Home in Missouri

It’s not every day that a police chase is after a mobile home. A police pursuit unfolded in Missouri after officers spotted a pickup truck driver towing a 70-foot mobile home along a highway.

The Excelsior Springs Police Department released dash cam footage of the incident involving a pickup truck driver and a mobile home that happened on Thanksgiving. Sergeant Kyle Craven said he saw the truck hauling the home and suspected the driver was under the influence since it was quite a bizarre sight.

While the driver did try to evade the police, they didn’t get too far. Police were unsuccessful in their first attempt at stopping the truck, which was traveling around 30 miles per hour until the driver took an erratic left turn and crashed down a culvert.

“We were chasing him real fast down the road,” Craven said. “One of my officers didn’t spike strip him fast enough and we chased him. He went off the roadway and jacked up his truck, jacked up his trailer.”

Authorities arrested the unidentified driver. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.
