A search is under way for two missing men after a boat carrying six passengers capsized.
Rescuers were called after the vessel overturned on a stretch of the river Thames near Shepperton, Surrey, on Sunday evening.
Four people – three women and one man – were taken to Frimley Park Hospital with minor injuries, South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust said.
A spokeswoman said on Monday: “A boat with six people in it capsized last night. We were asked to attend and conveyed four people to hospital. Two men were missing last night.”
A helicopter was initially used in a bid to find the men, with divers resuming the search on Monday morning, Surrey Police said.
A force spokeswoman said: “At around 7.30pm yesterday, Surrey Police and Surrey Fire and Rescue Service attended the river Thames near Shepperton where a small boat had capsized.
“It is believed there were six people on the boat. Four are safe but two men are missing.
“Extensive searches were started immediately, including the use of the police helicopter but there was no trace of the two missing people.
“Sussex dive team is working with us and the search will be continuing this morning.”
