Our primary focus is taking care of those impacted." What we don't know It's not yet clear how badly hurt the passengers and crew might be.

At least 18 injured after Delta Airlines plane flips on landing at Toronto airport
A child was among three people critically injured after a Delta Airlines flight flipped over as it landed at Toronto airport on Monday. At least 18 people were hurt after Endeavor Flight 4819 with 80 people onboard crashed on an icy runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada at around 2.15pm. Footage showed the commercial jet, which had departed from Minneapolis just before midday, lying upside down on a runway blanketed in snow with one of its wings snapped off as passengers climbed out of the aircraft's doors. Two passengers were airlifted to hospital with critical injuries and a child was taken to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto by ambulance. All 80 people on board the CRJ-900 were evacuated following the crash. Departures and arrivals resumed at the airport at 5pm. An airport spokesman said: 'All 76 passengers and four crew from Delta Flight 4819 were accounted for.' A video taken by a passenger after the crash showed a fire engine shooting water at the overturned wreckage, while a voice can be heard saying: 'Our plane crashed, it's upside down. Fire department's on site... most people are going to be OK, we're all getting off.' Another clip taken which appeared to be from inside the plane showed bags strewn across the upside down plane. A stewardess could be heard telling passengers to 'drop everything' as she guided people climbing out of the aircraft. Twelve of the injured had minor injuries and were transported by ground for medical attention, Lawrence Saindon, a superintendent for Peel Regional Paramedic Services, told NBC News. Constable Sarah Patten of the Peel Regional Police in Ontario said they did not yet know the 'circumstances' of the plane crash. She added: 'It is my understanding that most of the passengers are out and unharmed, but we're still trying to make sure so we're still on scene investigating.' Joshua McNamara, communications lead for Ornge air ambulance service, said: 'One male patient in his 60s has been transported to St Michael's Hospital in Toronto with critical injuries via helicopter.

Delta said it was 'aware' of reports the flight had been 'involved in an incident,' and said it would share further details in due course. Canada's Transportation Safety Board deployed a team of investigators. The crash came after the region was battered by a winter storm of heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures and high winds. At the time of the crash there were 20 to 30mph winds, with reported gusts up to 40mph. Airport staff had worked throughout the night on Sunday to clear the more than 22cm snow that was 'dumped' on the airport, Toronto Pearson said early Monday morning. 'Our airfield team has continued their work throughout the night to clear critical areas so planes can safely arrive and depart', they said on social media. Yesterday's crash came less than three weeks after 67 people were killed when an army helicopter struck an American Airlines passenger jet approaching Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington DC, the deadliest plane crash in the US since 2001. Days later at least seven people were killed when a medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia. Delta said Flight 4819 was 'involved in a single-aircraft accident', with initial reports indicating no fatalities.

I want to express my thanks to the many Delta and Endeavor team members and the first responders on site.' Thanks for following our coverage. This live blog is now closed.
