More than a dozen people were injured after a plane crashed while landing Monday at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada. The Delta Air Lines Flight 4819 flight, operated by Endeavor Air, was coming from Minneapolis.
Though the plane ended upside down on the runway, no one was killed in the incident, according to the airport authority.
It is not yet known what caused the crash. The investigation will be managed by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.
Here’s what we know so far:
At least 15 people, including a child, were injured, Peel Regional Paramedic Services said, according to Canada’s CTV network. Two people are in critical condition but none of the injuries are considered life-threatening, the paramedic service said, adding that everyone has been accounted for.
All 80 people on board were evacuated, according to a preliminary statement by the Federal Aviation Administration. Delta Air Lines said there were 76 passengers and four crew members on the flight.
A medical helicopter was in the area and offered to help after the plane crashed, according to air traffic control audio. Air traffic control can also be heard clearing the plane to land and giving the crew information about the weather. The chopper pilot at one point says, “The aircraft is upside down and burning.”
