Police continue to investigate cause of crash continued from p.1 what happened. The Ministry of the Environment was also notified due to an oil and petroleum slick caused by the crash. Odoardi also said it is believed the Burlington man was the only person in the black Dodge Dakota pickup truck as it travelled southbound on Burloak Drive and flew into the lake. A guardrail at the scene, located beside a traffic sign that reads `Slow Down. Speed Kills,' had been struck and was crumpled, however, police could not confirm if the damage was connected to this crash. A small crowd gathered to watch as police prepared to pull the truck ashore. The truck was located in about three metres of water and 45 metres from the shoreline. Bystanders said they had heard sirens and saw police cruisers racing down Burloak Drive around 12:30 a.m. At about 9:30 a.m., a woman arrived on the scene and could be seen crying as she waited to speak with police about what had happened. A post mortem was scheduled for yesterday (Tuesday). This pickup truck was not the first to hurtle over the steep Burloak Drive embankment. On May 5, 2004, a red pickup truck carrying four people, including two children, crashed into Lake Ontario following a collision with a second vehicle at the intersection of Lakeshore Road and Burloak Drive. In that incident, the man in the other vehicle was killed while the four people in the pickup truck were rescued. Premiere Dance Inc.
