LOWELL -- Two people were killed in a one-vehicle crash this morning on East Fulton Street in Lowell.
The crash was originally reported involving two cars, but Kent County Sheriff's deputies and emergency personnel arrived on the scene to find just one car involved.
The road remains closed at 10374 E. Fulton St., and an officer at the road block was unsure whether anyone else was traveling in the vehicle with the two victims.
Michigan State Police also are on the scene investigating the crash.

Craig Goess race report
Craig Goess Finishes 14th at Toledo Speedway Despite Mid-Race Accident
Craig Goess and the No. 81 Eddie Sharp Racing Toyota of Greenville N.C. team posted a 14th-place finish, despite being involved in a multi-car accident in the Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care at Toledo Speedway Sunday.
The weekend got off to a solid start as Goess posted the 14thquickest time in practice Saturday afternoon, circling the half-mile track in a time of 16.795 seconds (107.175 mph).
"We made constant progress throughout practice, although we did not have the chance to try out everything we wanted to," said Goess. "We didn't even make a mock qualifying run. As far as the boards go, we didn't really look that great in practice, but I don't think it reflects what kind of car we have."
Goess showed his speed later Saturday afternoon during qualifying, where he laid down a lap of 16.148 seconds (111.469 mph). His quick lap placed him sixth on the starting grid.
When the green flag dropped Sunday afternoon, the ESR Greenville Toyota of N.C. was poised to contend for the victory, after posting top-five finishes in his last three races.
Starting on the outside of row three, Goess stuck to the front of the pack around the .5-mile short-track. Happy with his car, Goess battled the leaders for the first half of the race. The short-track excitement began early, with 10 cautions over the course of the 200 laps, slowing the field for 58 laps.
On lap 82, Goess radioed to the crew about possible problems with the tires. "I think I heard something pop in the left front, explained Goess. "It just doesn't feel right. It definitely does not feel like I have two new tires on right now."
Although concerned with possible problems in the left front, Goess stayed in the 12th position until lap 98. Coming around turns one and two, the No. 81 got caught up in an accident with Patrick Sheltra, Tim George Jr., Robb Brent and A.J. Frank. The accident brought out the red flag, and the No. 81 had significant cosmetic damage.
