A boy, 16, and a man, 40, have died after a Mercedes left a Lincolnshire village road and became submerged in water.

The two were driving in a blue Mercedes 300 at 1.33pm yesterday when it crashed into a body of water along Tetney Lock Road.

Emergency services were dispatched onto the road, which connects the village of the same name with the nearby canal.

But both people in the Mercedes were pronounced dead at the scene. Their next of kin have been informed.

Diversions were put in place at Tetney Lock Road junction with Hoop End and the Tetney Lock Road junction with New Delights until 3pm yesterday.

Lincolnshire Police are now appealing for anyone who may have seen the vehicle driving before the incident and captured it on dashcam or has footage of the collision itself.

People are being asked to check for footage from the Laceby crossroads at Laceby, Grimsby, and the surrounding roads leading to the Tetney Lock Road area between 12:30pm and 1.33pm yesterday.

‘At this stage, it is not believed there were any other vehicles involved but we are keeping an open mind as the investigation progresses,’ the force added.
