A woman and a young boy have tragically died after a car was found submerged in a roadside pond. The tragedy happened just three years after another vehicle plunged into the same pond but no-one was injured.
Police were called to Old Oundle Road near to Whittering, Cambridgeshire, at about 6.20pm on Sunday after a blue Ford Focus was spotted in the water. One woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while a young boy was rushed to hospital for treatment but tragically was also pronounced dead shortly after.
Cambridgeshire Police say it is unclear how long the vehicle had been in the water. A spokesperson said: "At about 6.20pm police were called with reports the blue Ford Focus had been spotted in the water next to Old Oundle Road, to the rear of RAF Wittering.
"Police, fire crews and paramedics attended the scene and the woman and child were removed from the vehicle. The boy was taken to hospital for treatment, but later died, while the woman died at the scene."
Police are appealing for information. Anyone who can help can call them on 101 quoting 414.
