A plane crashed at Toronto Pearson Airport on Monday afternoon, injuring Delta passengers flying from the U.S., according to Canadian officials.
The plane crash, which involved a Delta Air Lines CRJ-900 jet that had departed from Minneapolis, was first reported by CTV. The incident was reported at 2:45 p.m. local time.
Pictures of the scene show the plane upside-down and mangled on a snow-covered runway.
Peel Regional Police says that it is investigating the number of potential injuries, which are unknown as of now, but paramedics told reporters that there were 8 injuries so far. Of the 8 reported injuries, one was critical and the others were mild to moderate, Reuters reported.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a statement on Monday stating that the crash took place while the aircraft was landing. 80 people were on board at the time, and all were immediately evacuated.
The FAA also said that the flight was operated by Endeavor Air. Toronto Pearson confirmed the crash on X, and said that all the plane’s passengers and crew “are accounted for.”
