Police say they have been told that a woman drove her car through the railing of the Cherry Street bridge and plunged the vehicle into a shipping channel on Toronto’s lakeshore. This information comes from a cyclist who dove into the lake in an attempt to rescue the driver. He was unable to find anything and was taken to hospital to be treated for hypothermia. Fire officials and the fire boat are at the scene with divers.  At dinner hours, police announced they will have to wait until morning to confirm whether a motorist was in fact inside the car. Brett Moore of the TPS told CP24 that divers had located the car but nightfall was forcing them to suspend their recovery efforts for the evening.

Moore said he was unable to confirm if any passengers were located.
