Dartmouth horror incident on Sunday
Police were notified at around 8.40am this morning, Sunday 10 November, to reports that a car had plunged into the water on the South Embankment in Dartmouth.
Emergency services were swiftly deployed to the scene, including police divers who entered the water.
Sadly, a man in his 80s, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle was extracted from the car and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The death is not believed to be suspicious, and a file will now be prepared for the coroner.
The embankment area was closed, and cordons was put in place for much of the day. These have since been lifted.
Police would like to thank the public for their support during the incident.
