One child and two adults have been critically injured after a plane crashed and overturned while landing at Toronto Pearson airport in Canada.

Images shared on social media show a plane which appears to have flipped over on the snow-covered tarmac. It appears to be missing at least one of its wings.

Toronto Pearson airport said the crash involved a Delta Air Lines flight arriving from Minneapolis, with eighty people on board but Eighteen have been transported to hospital.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said he was “grateful to the first responders and professionals on the scene”, ensuring no life was lost.

Toronto Pearson airport had been experiencing weather-related delays over the last few days, with heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures battering parts of Ontario, but the cause of this crash is yet to be ascertained.
