Toronto Police Duty Insp. Jon Rose told reporters at a news conference that the circumstances around the crash are still being investigated, but noted speed may have been a factor.

Lake Shore Blvd. W. was closed to traffic between British Columbia Rd. and Ontario Dr., but was reopened in the afternoon.

Police are asking local residents, businesses, and drivers, who may have security or dash camera footage of the area or incident, to contact investigators.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-1900, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or at 222tips.com.
