Formal identification of the man who died has not yet taken place and the police said efforts were ongoing to trace his next of kin. <\/p>\n
He had entered the water near the junction of Main Street and Ash Grove Lane, according to the force, which led to “extensive searches” involving Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service. <\/p>\n
The man was treated by ambulance crews at the scene before he was taken to hospital. <\/p>\n
BBC correspondent Jeremy Ball said from the scene: “Smashed brickwork from the bridge over Egginton Brook lies in the water, below a broken ‘Welcome to the village of Egginton’ sign. <\/p>\n
“One villager told me the road was closed until a wrecked car was removed from the bridge.”<\/p>\n
Adrian Osiecki, 34, from Harnall Lane West in Coventry, has been charged with dangerous driving – including failing to stop for police and criminal damage to police vehicles – driving without insurance, driving while disqualified and theft of a caravan.<\/p>\n
He is due to appear at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court on Monday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Formal identification of the man who died has not yet taken place and the police said efforts were…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":427340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-427339","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-kingdom","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-greatbritain","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
