A teenager died after his car collided with a sewage plant.
The 18-year-old boy’s body was discovered “a few yards away” from a Volkswagen Golf that had been discovered “partly submerged” at a water treatment facility in Castleford, England, on Sunday, Jan. 12, according to West Yorkshire Police.
A man and a woman, both 21, were found inside the vehicle and taken to the hospital for further treatment, according to the statement.
They have since been arrested on suspicion of causing death through dangerous driving.
“At 6.19 a.m. (Sunday), police received a report of a vehicle with persons inside which had left Wheldon Road and gone into a ditch,” according to the release.
“Emergency services attended the location and found that the vehicle, a white Volkswagen Golf, had entered a water treatment facility and was partly submerged in a pit of water.”
Police confirmed that the unidentified victim was from Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
According to The Telegraph and Metro newspapers in the United Kingdom, the water treatment facility is called Wheldale Sewage Works.
Metro obtained photos from the scene, showing the white car partially underwater in a ditch and leaning to the side. The vehicle also showed signs of damage along one side and on the roof. Emergency personnel were also seen carrying a stretcher.
The identities of the deceased teen and man, as well as the arrested man and woman, have yet to be released. The Major Collision Enquiry Team is currently investigating the crash.
