One person is dead after a vehicle lost control and plunged into Lake Ontario in the early morning hours Saturday, according to police.
Toronto paramedics say reports came in around 3:30 a.m. that a car with two occupants had gone into the water at Polson Street.
Police said the vehicle was moving at a high rate of speed southbound on Cherry Street, approaching a bridge over Lake Ontario that was under construction.
At that point, officers say the vehicle lost control and left the roadway, entering the water.
A male victim was successfully rescued and treated by emergency medics after being found floating in the water. His condition when he was transferred to hospital was non-life-threatening, officers said.
The other occupant of the vehicle, also male, was found at the bottom of the lake by a police diver and pronounced dead.
The car was also found at the bottom of Lake Ontario.
Toronto Police Service is investigating and says the public can expect road closures in the area.
