All 80 people on the flight survived the accident
One child was among the 18 people transported to area hospitals with injuries after a Delta Airlines plane flying from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport flipped upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday.
The aircraft had 80 people on board, including 76 passengers and four crew members. All individuals were evacuated after the incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. local time.
Three air ambulance helicopters and two ambulances responded to the scene, Ornge, an ambulance service and medical transport company in the area, said. The majority of people on the flight had minor to moderate injuries.
The pediatric patient was transported via ambulance to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. An adult male in his 60s and a female patient in her 40s were transported to area hospitals via helicopter.
It’s not yet known why the plane turned over upon arrival. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is leading the investigation and has deployed a team to the scene, the agency wrote on X. Departures and arrivals have resumed after Toronto airport operations briefly ceased due to the crash.
