A regional jet operated by Delta Air Lines (DAL.N) flipped over during its landing at Toronto Pearson Airport in Canada on Monday due to gusty conditions after a snowstorm, resulting in injuries to 18 of the 80 individuals aboard, according to officials.
Three individuals aboard flight DL4819 from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport experienced severe injuries, including a child, according to a Canadian air ambulance representative, with 15 additional individuals also rushed to hospitals. Delta reported late on Monday that some of the injured have been released.
The U.S. airline reported that a CRJ900 plane managed by its Endeavor Air subsidiary was involved in a solo aircraft incident, carrying 76 passengers and four crew members.
The 16-year-old CRJ900, produced by Bombardier of Canada (BBDb.TO), opens new tab and powered by GE Aerospace (GE.N), opens new tab engines, can accommodate up to 90 passengers. Video footage revealed that at least one of the two wings was no longer connected to the aircraft following the incident.
Canadian officials stated they would look into the reason for the crash, which remains unclear. Traveler John Nelson shared a video on Facebook that captured the aftermath, depicting a fire truck spraying water on the aircraft, which was overturned on the snow-laden runway.
He subsequently informed CNN that there were no signs of anything out of the ordinary prior to landing. Toronto Pearson Airport announced earlier on Monday that it was managing strong winds and freezing temperatures while airlines worked to recover from missed flights following a weekend snowstorm that dropped over 22 cm (8.6 inches) of snow at the airport.
