The Canadian Press reports that one passenger is critically injured and seven others were also hurt on the flight from Minneapolis.

WASHINGTON — A badly injured child is among eight people who were hurt Monday when a Delta Airlines plane flipped upon arrival at Toronto’s Pearson Airport.

One passenger is critically injured and seven others were also hurt, paramedics said.

Ornge air ambulance said it was transporting one pediatric patient to Toronto’s SickKids hospital and two adults with critical injuries to other hospitals in the city.

Emergency teams were responding to the incident, and all passengers and crews were accounted for, according to Toronto airport officials. The CRJ-900 passenger jet had 80 people on board. 

Delta Air Lines Flight 4819, which is operated by Endeavor Air, crashed upon landing at about 2:45 p.m. local time on Monday, the FAA said. 

It is too early to say what caused the plane to flip but weather may have played a factor. According to the Meteorological Service of Canada, the airport was experiencing blowing snow and winds of 32 mph (51 kph) gusting to 40 mph (65 mph). The temperature was about 16.5 degrees Fahrenheit (-8.6 Celsius).

A person who said he was on the plane posted a video on social media showing the plane flipped upside down with smoke emerging from the jet. The plane was somewhat obscured by snow from a winter storm that hit Toronto over the weekend.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that the Transportation Safety Board of Canada will head up the investigation and provide any updates.

Delta said in a statement it was “aware of reports of Endeavor Flight 4819 operating from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Toronto-Pearson International Airport as involved in an incident.”

It is at least the fourth major aviation mishap in North America in the past month. 

A commercial jetliner and an Army helicopter collided near the nation’s capital on Jan. 29, killing 67 people. A medical transportation plane crashed in Philadelphia on Jan. 31, killing the six people on board and another person on the ground and 10 were killed in a plane crash in Alaska.

Endeavor Air, based in Minneapolis, is a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines and the world’s largest operator of CRJ-900 aircraft. The airline operates 130 regional jets on 700 daily flights to over 126 cities in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean, according to the company’s website.

The CRJ900, a popular regional jet, was developed by Canadian aerospace company Bombardier. It’s in the same family of aircraft as the CRJ700, the type of plane involved in the midair collision near Reagan National Airport on Jan. 29.
