Superintendent Robert Toynton stated that officers would review nearby CCTV footage, which appears to show the vehicle traveling “at a speed likely exceeding the posted limit.”
“That will be a key focus of our investigation,” Toynton said.
“Our hearts go out to this family… The driver has tragically lost his partner in this crash, and regardless of the circumstances, it’s an absolute tragedy.”
