Plane flips while landing in Toronto, leaving at least 18 injured

A regional passenger jet operated by Delta Air Lines flipped upside down while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday afternoon, injuring at least 18 people, authorities said. Toronto airport authorities confirmed that all four crew members and 76 passengers survived.

A statement posted by Delta said 18 passengers were being treated at local hospitals. The extent of their injuries remained unclear. At least two passengers were critically injured, but were expected to survive.

Monday's crash in Toronto is the latest in a spate of air accidents in recent weeks across North America. On Jan. 29, a commercial jetliner and U.S. military helicopter collided midair near Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., killing 67. Two days later in Philadelphia, a medical transportation plane crashed soon after takeoff, killing six on board. And on Feb. 6, a small passenger plane crash in Alaska claimed the lives of the 10 people on board.
