A 16-year-old girl who died after a car crashed into the River Nene in Cambridgeshire has been named as Eden Bunn. Police confirmed she was a rear-seat passenger in a blue VW Polo that left the road and entered the water near Wisbech at around 8.20pm on Tuesday.
Eden’s family, from Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire, described her as the “kindest, most loving girl we could ever wish for”. In a tribute, her parents Lisa and Dean, brother Jay, sister Shelby and nephew Axl said: “Words cannot describe the tragedy that will stay with us until we are able to meet her again. Her horses – Daisy and Dolly – were her world, and she was ours.”
The search continues for 18-year-old Declan Berry, of Wisbech, who is believed to have been driving the car. His family said they were “absolutely devastated beyond words”. Detective Inspector Craig Wheeler said the search “could be a timely process” due to the “challenging nature of the river”.
Three of the five occupants managed to escape and were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Two have since been discharged, while a 16-year-old girl remains in hospital. Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage, referencing incident 515 of March 17.
