A car has plunged into a river on Christchurch's Colombo St this morning.
Emergency services were called to the incident at about 8.30am.
Spreydon fire station officer Corey Stewart said they arrived to find the car fully submerged in the Heathcote River.
He said crew members dived into the water to check if there was anyone inside but there was not.
"We had no way of knowing whose the vehicle is and where it has come from, all we know is that there is no one in it and that is the main thing.
