Toronto police have recovered a body Friday from the car that crashed through a guardrail and into Toronto harbour.

Police were called to the Port Lands area around 4 p.m. on Thursday. They received reports of a car travelling northbound on Cherry Street at a high rate of speed that hit the west side guardrail on the lift bridge just south of Polson Street and crashed into the water.

One person was treated for hypothermia after jumping into the shipping channel to try and assist the occupant in the car, believed to be a female driver. They were unsuccessful as the car sank in approximately 25 feet of water.

Shortly after 6:30 p.m., police announced that due to the failing light and unsafe conditions, the recovery effort would be suspended until Friday morning.

Cherry Street remains closed from Commissioners Street.
