Family pays tribute to 'kindest' teenage girl after car crashes into river - as man still missing

The family of a 16-year-old who was killed after a car crashed into a river in Cambridgeshire has paid tribute, calling her the "kindest, most loving girl".

Eden Bunn was among five people in a blue VW Polo, which veered off the road into the River Nene near Wisbech at about 8.20pm on Tuesday. Her body was recovered by divers on Wednesday.

Searches are continuing for 18-year-old Declan Berry, from Wisbech, who is believed to have been driving the car. His family and friends said they were "absolutely devastated beyond words".

Police said three other people in the vehicle managed to get out and were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn with non-life threatening injuries.

Among the three, a 16-year-old girl and a man aged 18 have since been discharged, while another 16-year-old girl remained in hospital on Thursday.

Ms Bunn, from Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire, was believed to be a rear-seat passenger when the collision happened.

In a tribute, her parents, Lisa and Dean, her brother Jay, sister Shelby and nephew Axl said: "Eden was the kindest, most loving girl we could ever wish for.

"Her horses - Daisy and Dolly - were her world, and she was ours.

"Words cannot describe the tragedy that will stay with us until we are able to meet her again."

The vehicle was travelling south on North Brink in Wisbech St Mary's when it left the road.

At least a dozen emergency services personnel and a white forensic tent could be seen on the riverbank on Wednesday.

Detective Inspector Craig Wheeler, from Cambridgeshire Police, said the search for Mr Berry "could be a timely process" due to the "challenging nature of the river".

Mr Wheeler said: "This is a truly devastating collision, for all involved.

"My thoughts are with the friends and family of Eden and Declan during this truly horrific time.

"Our investigation is at an early stage but I would appeal to anyone who may have seen the collision or the blue VW Polo in the Wisbech area between 7pm and 8.20pm on Tuesday to contact police."
