Updated on 18th February

As the Guardian reported, at least 18 people were injured after a plane crash-landed and overturned while touching down in Toronto.

Two people in critical condition were airlifted to a nearby trauma centre, while a child was transported by ambulance to a hospital.

Details Of The Plane Crash

The incident occurred at approximately 2:13 p.m. local time when Delta flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air on a Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft, attempted to land in snowy conditions. Eyewitness footage and photos show the plane’s fuselage completely inverted on the snow-covered runway, with its wings and tail apparently broken off.

Passenger Safety

All passengers and crew members have been accounted for, according to Toronto Pearson Airport officials. Emergency crews quickly responded to the scene, with smoke visible from the damaged aircraft. While initial reports indicated no fatalities, at least eight passengers are reported to have sustained injuries.

Possible Causes

The airport had been clearing ice and snow following a weekend storm, suggesting weather may have played a role in the incident. Investigators will likely examine the runway conditions and the aircraft’s systems to determine the cause of the crash.

Peel Regional Police are investigating the crash and assessing the number of potential injuries. The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA) has stated they are responding to the incident and supporting those involved.
