Police officers chased a driver "hauling a big ol' house" through the streets of Excelsior Springs, Missouri.
The bizarre, 30-mph police chase involving a 70-foot mobile home unfolded on a highway about 30 miles northeast of Kansas City on Thanksgiving, which was caught on dashcam video.
"He was traveling all over the roadway. We thought he might've been drunk," Excelsior Springs police said in a video posted on Facebook. "We came up on him. We chased him real fast down the road."
Pursuing officers did not get the spike strip down quick enough, police said, and the chase continued.

Pursuing officers finally ran the driver off the road.
The video shows the driver trying to make a sharp left, but the mobile home trailer dips in a grassy area and tips over.

"We chased him off the roadway, and he jacked up his truck. He jacked up his trailer," police said. "And then we took him to jail like Excelsior does."
The video ends with the driver being cuffed on the hood of the police car, and two officers high-fiving each other.
