The vehicle was seen and photographed by passerby Stephanie Hardman who was on her boat on the canal when she saw the wreckage on Langley Road/Ebstree Road at 8.30am on Saturday morning.

The incident reportedly happened in the early hours at 2am.

One female on the passenger side, which was almost parallel to the water, apparently opened the door and jumped into the canal to escape.

The people in the car were reportedly unharmed, although emergency services are yet to confirm this.
