A helicopter has been used to help with the search for Declan Berry after a car entered the River Nene at North Brink a week ago. Declan and four other teenagers crashed into the River Nene outside Wisbech St Mary at around 8.20pm on Tuesday, March 17.

Two 16-year-old girls and one 18-year-old boy were able to get out of the vehicle and were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The body of a 16-year-old girl, Eden Bunn, was recovered by the police from the river on Wednesday, March 18.

The blue Volkswagen Polo that they had been driving in was recovered by police on Sunday, March 22, with help from specialist dive teams. The police confirmed that no further people were found inside the car.

The police are continuing to search for Declan, 18. People have spotted a helicopter over the area that headed towards Guyhirn that police are using to help with the search.

People have placed flowers along the road in tribute to the two teenagers. Eden’s family have paid tribute her, describing her as “the kindest, most loving girl”.
