DES MOINES, Iowa - Two people are dead from a high-speed crash while fleeing from a traffic stop.

Des Moines Police then found the car fully engulfed in flames in a wooded area after reports it had crashed.
Two people were confirmed to be dead at the scene and their names have not been released.
The car entered the wooded area directly north of the T intersection of 12th Street and Oak Park Avenue. The intensity of the fire prevented immediate rescue efforts.
