The driver of a vehicle that plunged into the icy waters of Lake Ontario at Ashbridges Bay on Sunday, killing a female passenger, has been charged by Toronto Police.
In a release, police said Kristjan Serraj, 23, of Oakville, was charged with dangerous operation causing death on Monday.
First responders were called to the east-end park near Lake Shore Boulevard and Woodbine Avenue at around 9:30 p.m. Sunday for reports of a vehicle in the water.
“We received a call for a vehicle that had gone into the water and was quickly submerging,” said Const. Viktor Sarudi. “The adult male driver was out of the vehicle; however, there was still a female passenger inside the car.”
The 25-year-old woman, whose identify has not been released by police, was rushed to hospital but later died.
Four officers were also taken to hospital and treated for exposure related to the rescue attempt. They were later released.
