Multiple people suffered injuries after a Delta Air Lines plane entering Canada from the U.S. crash-landed Monday, according to reports.
The plane was traveling from Minneapolis when it crashed at the Toronto Pearson International Airport, a statement from the airport’s authorities said.
“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,” the statement read.
Videos circulating online show what appears to be the Delta plane flipped over and emergency crews attending to the crash site. The jet appeared to have overturned during landing, the New York Times reported. (RELATED: Passenger Jet Collides With Military Helicopter Near Reagan National Airport.

Paramedics told various Canadian outlets that 15 people were injured.
Data from the flight tracker FlightAware suggests that the aircraft is a Bombardier CRJ-900 with the identification number EDV4819 and operated by the Minneapolis-based Endeavor Air — a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. The jet seats 70 passengers, according to Delta Air Lines.
Multiple inbound flights to Toronto Pearson are listed as delayed or cancelled on the airport’s website.
The airport had just emerged from nearly 8.7 inches of snow over the weekend and had experienced multiple delays and cancelations for that reason, Canadian outlet CBC reported.
The Peel Regional Police are investigating.
There have been two recent fatal crashes in the U.S. that have rocked air travel in the country. An American Airlines plane collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River near Washington Reagan National Airport, killing 67 people.
A Missouri-bound Learjet 55 carrying six people including a child patient and her mother from northeastern Philadelphia Airport crashed in Philadelphia, killing all aboard and one on the ground.
