Eight hurt as plane flips on landing at Toronto airport
"It is my understanding that most of passengers are out and unharmed," says a police official
A plane crashed at the Toronto Pearson International Airport, with local police officials confirming the incident and CBC television reporting that it flipped over while making a landing.
CBC and CP24 television both reported eight people were injured.
Toronto's Pearson Airport said it was aware of an incident involving a Delta Air Lines plane arriving from Minneapolis and that emergency teams were responding.
All passengers and crew were accounted for, the airport said in a statement on X.
Representatives for Delta did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"There is a plane crash. However, we do not know the circumstances surrounding it at this point," said Constable Sarah Patten of the Peel Regional Police in Ontario.
"It is my understanding that most of the passengers are out and unharmed, but we are still trying to make sure, so we are still on scene investigating," Patten said.
