Multiple injuries, one critical, in plane crash at Toronto’s Pearson airport

By Canadian Press on February 17, 2025.

Paramedics say one passenger has been critically injured and seven others were also hurt in a plane crash at Toronto Pearson Airport.

The airport has confirmed the crash involves a Delta Air Lines plane arriving from Minneapolis, and images posted on social media show the plane flipped over on the tarmac.

A superintendent with the Peel Region paramedic service says all of the other roughly 80 passengers and crew are accounted for and not believed to be injured at this time.

The Delta Air Lines flight 4819 arrived from Minneapolis this afternoon amid blowing snow following a winter storm that hit the Toronto region over the weekend.

There was no immediate word on the cause of the crash.

Federal transport minister Anita Anand says she’s closely following the “serious incident.”
