Two people, including a 16-year-old boy, have died after a car crashed and became submerged in water.

Lincolnshire Police said the collision was reported around 13.30 on Saturday when a blue Mercedes 300 left the road at Tetney Lock Road in Tetney, Lincolnshire.

Police officers, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, and East Midlands Ambulance Service crews were all immediately dispatched to the incident.

A 16-year-old boy and a 40-year-old man were pronounced dead at the scene.

Their next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers, the force said.

It is not believed any other vehicles were involved at this stage.

Diversions were put in place at Tetney Lock Road junction with Hoop End and the Tetney Lock Road junction with New Delights, before the road opened around 3am.

Police are now appealing for any information on the incident, particularly from those who may have seen the vehicle and have dashcam footage between 12:30pm and 1.33pm on Saturday.

Those with information should call 01522 212316 and quote incident 190 of January 6, or email jared.thorp@lincs.police.uk.
