At least 15 people, including a child, are injured after a plane crashed at Toronto Pearson International Airport Monday afternoon.
Emergency services, including Ornge air ambulance, received calls around 2 p.m. for reports of the crash, which the airport confirmed involved a Delta Air Lines flight arriving from the United States.
Several videos and photos on social media appeared to show a Delta plane overturned on the airport grounds.
A spokesperson for Ornge told Global News it dispatched multiple ambulances to the scene.
“One paediatric patient is currently being transported to Sick Kids with critical injuries,” it said.
“One male patient in his 60s transported to St. Michael’s Hospital with critical injuries (and) one patient being transported to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre with critical injuries.”
Details of injuries remain unclear. Shortly after the crash was first reported, Peel paramedics suggested there could be as many as 15 people with injuries.

Peel Regional Police also said they were responding to the scene to assist emergency crews.
Federal Transport Minister Anita Anand said in a post on X 80 passengers were aboard the flight, and all have been accounted for. Pearson said all crew have been accounted for as well.
The majority of flights departing the airport Monday have either been delayed or cancelled.
The Delta Air Lines flight, 4819, arrived from Minneapolis amid blowing snow following a winter storm that hit the Toronto region over the weekend.
Delta said it was aware of the incident in a post on its website, saying the flight was operated by its subsidiary, Endeavor Air.
“Initial reports were that there are no fatalities,” Delta said.
“Several customers with injuries were transported to area hospitals. Our primary focus is taking care of those impacted.”
There was no immediate word on what led to the incident.
The Transportation Board of Canada, which investigates air, marine, pipeline and rail transportation occurrences, said it will probe the incident.
