KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A high-speed police chase ended in a crash and an arrest on Thursday evening, after officers tried to stop a car suspected in an armed robbery.

The wreck happened near 62nd Street and Bellefontaine Avenue in a Kansas City, Mo.

“We heard this boom,” said Kim Franklin, whose mother lives nearby. “I saw that car right there and I’m like, ‘What in the heck happened?’”

Police said they stopped the car near Meyer and Prospect after noticing it matched the suspect vehicle description in an earlier armed robbery. When officers approached, the driver hit the gas and took off and led them on a high-speed chase.

When the car came toward 62nd Street, it barreled through Franklin’s mom’s yard, leaving tire tracks in the grass and destroying brick landscaping.

“That’s the house I grew up in,” Franklin said, “and you just never think that something like this would happen, but you just never know.”

The car eventually collided with a pick-up truck before coming to a halt.

“I stepped out a little bit further,” Franklin said, “and I saw the police run, and I was like, ‘Oh no! Let me go back inside!’”

The driver tried to get away, but officers ran him down and arrested him a few houses down.

“I`m glad they caught him,” Franklin said. “He needed to be caught, and when you do bad, that`s what happens.”

As for Franklin, she’s cleaning up the street and counting her blessings, saying she and her family had just driven through there a few minutes before the crash.

“If we would`ve got here five minutes later,” she said, “we probably would`ve been hit…very thankful, very relieved, yes.”

No one was hurt. Police took the driver into custody and towed his car. They’re now working to confirm he’s the same person wanted in the armed robbery.
