Dive teams have recovered the body of a teenage girl after a car crashed into the River Nene in Cambridgeshire, as searches continue for a male teenager still unaccounted for.
Cambridgeshire Police stated the vehicle, carrying five occupants aged 16 to 18, left the road and entered the water near Wisbech at about 8.20pm on Tuesday.
Three of those inside – two females and one male – managed to escape.
They were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police confirmed on Wednesday that emergency services had "sadly recovered the body of a teenage girl". The search for the male teenager continues.
The vehicle was travelling southbound on North Brink in Wisbech St Mary’s when it left the road, the force said, with the road likely to remain closed for the remainder of Wednesday.
At least a dozen emergency services personnel could be seen on the riverbank on Wednesday afternoon, as a diver searched in the water.
There was a white forensic tent on the riverbank and emergency service vehicles parked along the road nearby.
