At least 17 people were hurt when a Delta Airlines plane overturned on landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday afternoon.
According to a Delta statement, 80 people were onboard the Endeavor Air flight arriving from Minneapolis/St. Paul when it crashed around 2:15 p.m. — 76 passengers and four crew members. In a press conference, airport officials said 17 people were hurt, and all of those injuries were relatively minor.
Of the people hurt, NBC reported one was a child and two were flown to a nearby trauma center. Twelve others were taken by ground for medical attention.
Video shared on social media and from an airport broadcast shows the plane flipped upside down on a snowy tarmac.
The Toronto Pearson International Airport confirmed the incident just before 3 p.m., saying at that time that all passengers and crew were already accounted for.
“Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis. Emergency teams are responding. All passengers and crew are accounted for,” said a post from the airport on X.

Toronto Pearson was put on a ground stop “due to an aircraft emergency” shortly after the crash. That ground stop was lifted by 5 p.m., but a ground delay is still in effect. Delta canceled all its flights to Toronto for the remainder of Monday.
The FAA confirmed to NBC News that the Transportation Safety Board of Canada will investigate the incident. The NTSB and FAA will assist in the investigation.
