Multiple people were injured Monday after a Delta Airlines plane was involved in an “incident” at Toronto Pearson International Airport, officials said.
The airport said it was aware of “an incident upon landing,” involving the Delta jet, which was arriving from Minneapolis.
Emergency personnel were responding to the scene and all passengers and crew members have been accounted for, the airport said in a social media post just before 3 p.m.
At least eight people were injured, with one of them in critical condition, said Lawrence Saindon, a superintendent for Peel Regional Paramedic Services.
The person in critical condition was airlifted to a nearby trauma center, Saindon said.
All arrivals into and departures out of Toronto Pearson have been canceled, according to local outlet CTV News, citing airport staff. The airport has not yet confirmed the cancelations, according to CTV.
Video posted on social media by someone who said they were on the flight shows the Delta plane overturned on the runway and steaming as passengers appear to evacuate.
“We just landed. Our plane crashed. It’s upside down,” the person who took the video said. He noted in the video that “most people appear to be OK” and that passengers were getting off of the plane.
