Two other passengers in the vehicle, a man and a woman (21), were rescued and taken to the hospital for treatment.
The pair were later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Police were called to Wheldale Sewage Works in Castleford, West Yorks, just before 6.20am on Sunday.
They responded to reports that a car had left Wheldon Road and gone into a sewer ditch.
Water rescue teams, along with firefighters, were dispatched to the scene in sub-zero temperatures and found the car submerged in water.
The pictures show a wrecked car in a huge waste water oxidation ditch.
The deceased man was found “a few meters from the vehicle” and pronounced dead at the scene.
It was later confirmed that he was an 18-year-old from the Wakefield area.
Police are now looking for witnesses.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said: “There were road closures on Wheldon Road for some time but they have now been removed.
“The incident is being investigated by the Major Collision Investigation Team, who are appealing for anyone who witnessed the vehicle traveling along Wheldon Road from the direction of Airedale to contact them immediately.
“Anyone with footage that could assist this investigation is being asked to come forward.”
You can contact the police on 101 or via live chat on the West Yorkshire Police website.
