Two teens missing as car plunges into river with three rushed to hospital after escaping from vehicle
TWO teenagers are missing after a car carrying five young people plunged into a river, with police divers now scouring the water.
The motor veered off the road in Wisbech St Mary’s, Cambridgeshire, at about 8.20pm last night.
There were five people aged between 16 and 18, including two males and three females, in the car when it entered the river, cops said.
Three of the occupants, two females and one male, are known to have got out of the vehicle.
They were rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police and emergency services remain at the scene today as searches for the missing teens continue.
A blue scene tent has been set up on the banks of the river while divers scour the riverbed with police, paramedics and fire crews still at the site of the incident.
The road is likely to remain closed for the rest of the day as emergency crew work.
A Cambridgeshire Police spokesperson said: “A male and a female have not been accounted for and searches continue.
“North Brink is likely to remain closed for the remainder of the day.
“We are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage.
“Anyone with information about the incident should use the reference incident 515 of 17 March and report it through the Cambridgeshire Police website.”
