Woman found dead inside river car

The body of a woman has been discovered in a car found on its roof in a river in rural Dorset.

The silver convertible Mercedes was found in the River Allen, north of Wimborne, on Wednesday morning.

Police think it came off the road and plunged into the river between the Horton Inn public house and Stanbridge Waterworks sometime on Tuesday night.

They found the body of a 60-year-old woman from Blandford inside the vehicle and are appealing for witnesses.
