Oakville man, 23, charged with dangerous operation causing death
An Oakville man has been charged after a vehicle ended up in Lake Ontario last weekend, leaving a woman dead, police say.
In a news release issued Tuesday, Toronto police said they were called Sunday evening about a marine rescue involving a vehicle that entered the water at Ashbridges Bay Park.
Investigators say two people were inside at the time, but only the male driver was able to get out.
Officers managed to get the 25-year-old passenger back to shore, where she was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries. She later died in hospital.
On Monday, the 23-year-old driver was charged with dangerous operation causing death, police said. He was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
Anyone with information or video footage of what happened is being asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
