Police investigating the disappearance of a man who went missing after a crash have found a body in a river.

Ambrose Ball, 30, was last seen driving his silver coloured BMW from The Fox public house, on Green Lanes, Palmers Green, on January 24.

A witness saw his car collide with the central reservation on Watermead Way at the junction with Sedge Road in Tottenham.

The car lost one of its front wheels and continued further down the road, coming to rest next to Tottenham Marshes.

Following the collision, Ambrose Ball got out of his car and has not been seen since.

A three-day search began where specialist officers searched the River Lea and Walthamstow wetlands.

On Wednesday, officers discovered the body of a man in the River Lea, New Cut.

The death is being treated as unexplained. A post mortem is due to take place and the family have been informed.
