Car Plunges Into River: Driver's Lucky Escape

A driver had a fortunate escape on Tuesday morning when their vehicle was recovered from the New South Eau river. The incident occurred on French Drove, near Thorney, with Cambridgeshire police responding to a single-vehicle collision shortly after 06:30 BST. Officers temporarily closed the road as the car was submerged in the river.

The driver was able to exit the vehicle and climb to safety independently before emergency services reached the location. The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust dispatched crews to the scene. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported as a result of the car entering the water.
