According to officials with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, the Tennessee Highway Patrol began a pursuit on a speeding maroon Kia around 5 Thursday evening on Interstate 40.

Troopers called off the chase because of how busy the roads were.

Authorities also found stolen items in the car, including a gun.
