A plane crash leaves at least 8 wounded in a landing in Toronto

A passenger plane from the American airline Delta suffered on Monday a spectacular accident when it landed at the Pearson airport in Toronto, in Canada, where it was turned upside down, without until the moment it has been informed of fatalities.

The Pearson de Toronto International Airport, the most important in Canada and one of the busiest in North America, indicated in its social networks that “All passengers and crew are located” and that emergency teams are working in the area.

The images broadcast by television chains such as the CNN show the setting aircraft in the middle of the track, surrounded by snow.

For their part, emergency teams said they are taking care of eight occupants of the plane, from Mineapolis (USA), although initially it has not been reported on their status.

Half an hour after the accident, the Local Police revealed that most of the occupants of the aircraft, whose destination was Toronto, had been evacuated from the plane.

Since last Thursday, Toronto has registered strong snowfalls that have caused the cancellation of numerous flights and generalized delays in Pearson airport, although on Monday the weather conditions had improved.
