Toronto Pearson International Airport reported Monday afternoon that a Delta flight arriving from Minnesota was involved in an “incident” while making its landing. The plane ended up on the runway where it appeared to be upside down.
Airport officials posted notice that emergency teams were responding and all passengers were accounted for shortly before 3 p.m. Delta Air Lines couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
The airport said on social media Monday morning that its crews worked through the weekend to clear more than eight inches of snow from its runways to keep planes moving safely. Officials there said on X that the snow was no longer falling by mid-morning, but warned that frigid temperatures and high winds were expected.
Canadian news outlet CP24 said that at least eight people were injured. The extent of those injuries weren’t immediately clear. One person was airlifted from the crash site, according to MSNBC.
A Canadian authorities told that network one child was driven to a Toronto hospital by ambulance. That official believed 80 people were aboard the plane. None of the passengers who remained on the plane appeared to suffer life-threatening injuries.
