TORONTO – An emergency situation was unfolding Monday afternoon at the Toronto Pearson International Airport after a Delta airline plane crash-landed on the runway, photos showed.
Photos taken at the airport showed the Delta aircraft belly up on the runway with emergency crews around the vehicle.
Airport officials said the flight originated from Minneapolis.
“Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis,” airport officials said in a statement on X. “Emergency teams are responding. All passengers and crew are accounted for.”
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
While it is not yet clear if weather played a role in the crash, the incident happened as extreme cold and wintry conditions unfolded across the northern tier of the U.S. and in Canada. Winds were gusting to about 40 mph at the time of the crash.
No snow was falling at the time of the crash, but the gusty winds were blowing around the more than 8 inches of snow that fell at the airport over the weekend.
