Police and firefighters were left stunned after three people escaped a horror car crash in a water-filled ditch without any serious injuries.

A black Mercedes-Benz left the road at Earith Bridge on Monday night (June 8) - leaving all of the occupants trapped in a ditch.

All three emergency services – police, fire and the ambulance service, worked through the night to rescue everyone from the wreck.

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said: “East Cambs officers last night attended a road traffic collision at Earith Bridge.

“A vehicle carrying three people left the road and went into a water filled ditch.

“Along with Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue and the East of England Ambulance Service, it was a joint agency effort.

“All three passengers were removed from the vehicle safely and taken to hospital to be checked over. Thankfully no serious injuries.”
