Police are looking for the driver of a Mercedes found crashed and abandoned in a ditch in the Fens.

The silver car was found on a farm estate in Walton Road, Wisbech, at about 09:30 BST on Sunday.

Cambridgeshire Police said the farmer assisted by moving a large poacher block - a concrete barricade intended to keep vehicles away from the land - to allow them access to the site.

A recovery truck then retrieved the Mercedes from the ditch.
