The body recovered from the River Nene today (31 March) has been identified as 18-year-old Declan Berry from Wisbech. Specialist search teams had been looking for Declan since his blue VW Polo entered the river in North Brink, Wisbech St Mary, on Tuesday, 17 March. The vehicle, carrying five young people, was recovered five days after the collision.
Tragically, the body of 16-year-old Eden Bunn from Sutton Bridge was recovered from the river the day after the accident.
Three other passengers – two 16-year-old girls and an 18-year-old man – escaped the vehicle.
Detective Inspector Craig Wheeler said: “Declan’s family have been notified, and I would ask that their privacy be respected during this horrendous time for them.
“Our investigation into this absolutely tragic collision continues, and I would urge anyone with any information about the collision to contact me.”
Police are appealing for witnesses or dashcam footage. Anyone with information is asked to quote incident 515 of 17 March and report it via the force website: www.cambs.police.uk. Those without internet access can call 101.
