A girl's body has been found after a car carrying five people crashed into a river in Cambridgeshire.

The vehicle left the road and entered the River Nene near Wisbech at about 8.20pm on Tuesday, according to police.

There were two males and three females aged between 16 and 18 in the car when the incident happened.

On Wednesday afternoon, specialist dive teams recovered the body of a teenage girl.

Cambridgeshire Police are still searching for a male who is missing following the collision.

Two females and one male are known to have got out of the vehicle and were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn with non-life-threatening injuries.

The vehicle was travelling southbound on North Brink in Wisbech St Mary's when it left the road, the force said.

The road is set to remain closed for the rest of Wednesday, it added.

At least a dozen emergency services personnel could be seen on the riverbank on Wednesday afternoon.

There was a white forensic tent on the riverbank and emergency service vehicles were parked along the road nearby.

Police are appealing for witnesses and those with dashcam footage to contact them.
