At least eight injured after a Delta Air Lines aircraft crashed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, New York Post reported.
Delta Flight 4819, which took off from Minneapolis about 11.47 am, appears flipped on its back on a snowy runway, according to photos and video posted online.
Emergency responders are attending to a situation. The images shared across aviation forums show the commercial aircraft, which departed from Minneapolis, overturned on its back on a snow-covered runway.
The collision occurred after a winter storm hit the region over the weekend, leaving almost nine inches of snowfall at the airport. This prompted maintenance teams to work through Sunday night to ensure essential runways were cleared.
“Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis,” the airport wrote on X on Monday. “Emergency teams are responding. All passengers and crew are accounted for.”
The event follows two fatal accidents in the United States. An American Airlines aircraft collided with a Black Hawk military helicopter near Reagan National Airport on January 29, resulting in 67 fatalities.
A few days afterwards, all six occupants perished when a medical aircraft crashed in northeast Pennsylvania.
