The Iowa State Patrol reports two people were killed in two separate crashes early this morning.
State troopers say a speeding car refused to pull over on Interstate 235 in Des Moines just before 1 AM.
The chase led off the interstate and into downtown, where troopers say the car turned the wrong way on a one way street and hit another car head-on.
The patrol says a juvenile in the fleeing car was killed, and four other people were injured.
In the second crash, also around 1 AM, troopers say an SUV went out of control on Main Street in Keokuk, hit a utility pole, and killed the driver.
At publication time, no names have been released in either case.
