A Mississauga man has been charged in connection with a boating accident in Toronto Harbor two months ago that left two people dead and another injured, according to Toronto police.
Police say a boat was heading into the harbor on the night of May 31 when it hit a rock breakwater and overturned. Police were called to the collision near Tommy Thompson Park shortly before midnight.
Members of the Toronto Police Marine Unit and the Toronto Fire Department rescued eight people from the boat. Two other people could not be located while the boat was still in the water, police said.
A 34-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were found dead inside the boat after it was removed from the lake by special equipment.
A 38-year-old man now faces charges including criminal negligence causing death, criminal negligence causing bodily harm, impaired operation causing death and impaired operation causing bodily harm.
He is scheduled to go to court in October.
