http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_32699.aspx reports: Police are pointing to speed as a major factor in a fatal crash on Allen Road Saturday morning. Crews got the call just before 5am when a TTC driver noticed debris strewn across the southbound lanes near Sheppard, though that's not where the accident actually started. Investigators say the driver of a blue Volvo was heading north when he lost control of his vehicle, crossing the southbound lanes, barrelling through Transit Road on the west side and rolling up an embankment. "The amount of distance that vehicle covered, the way [it] rolled and where it ended up...there was considerable speed involved," noted Sgt. Tim Burrows of the Toronto Police. A 23-year-old male was pronounced at the scene. His next-of-kin has requested that his name not be released. Traffic Services closed the Allen northbound at Wilson Heights and southbound at Sheppard for a few hours while they put together a reconstruction. Do you think that more than simple speed was involved in the crash?

Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
