A man who died when his car plunged into a water-filled ditch has been named as 32-year-old Andrew Jarvis, of Marshland St James, near Wisbech.

Mr Jarvis was on his way to work at Palm Paper when his car left the road at St John's Fen End on Tuesday, November 24.

Police were called just after 7.25am to reports of a Volkswagen vehicle in a water-filled ditch at Gravel Bank.

Emergency services attended and Mr Jarvis was discovered inside the vehicle.

Following the incident, the road was closed in both directions for about five hours.
