Two people are dead and an investigation is underway in Holland after a high-speed chase ended in a crash Sunday morning.

The Holland Department of Public Safety says police received a report of several people fighting by a Speedway gas station at 800 Washington Ave. just before 2:30 a.m.

An officer walking toward the gas station noticed a motorist in a silver vehicle speeding out of the parking lot with the vehicle's headlights off.

The motorist lost control near South Shore Drive and crashed the vehicle into a tree. The department of public safety says the driver and a passenger in the vehicle were found dead at the scene of the crash.
