A man has been charged with dangerous driving causing death after a car plunged into Lake Ontario in Toronto on the weekend, leaving one woman dead.

Police say they were called around 9:30 p.m. Sunday to Ashbridges Bay on reports of a vehicle submerged in the lake.

They say the driver was able to make it out of the vehicle but the passenger, a 25-year-old woman, had to be pulled out.

Police say she was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition and later died.

The driver, a 23-year-old man from Oakville, Ont., was treated for injuries not considered life-threatening.

He was expected to appear in court today.
