Two patients were taken by air ambulances for two separate Trauma Center – Sunbrook Health Sciences Center and St. Michael Hospital – Toronto, according to a spokesman of paramedic service, which was on the scene.
At the age of nearly four, a child was taken to the hospital for sick children in Toronto.
“All three were important, there were non-life-threatening injuries,” Lawrence Sindon, Superintendent of Peel Regional Paramedic Service, told Fox News Digital. “The remaining people are all injured, with cut and scrap, nothing is serious.”
Toronto Pearson Airport stopped soon after the operation accident, but departure and arrival started again by about 5 pm
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a statement on Monday stating that the accident occurred when the aircraft was landing. All passengers and crew were immediately evacuated.

The FAA said, “Canada’s Transport Safety Board will be in charge of the investigation and will provide any update.”
Toronto Pearson confirmed the accident on X, and said that all the passengers and crews of the aircraft are “calculated.”
The airport post read, “Emergency teams are responding.”
The sound of air traffic control from the incident indicates that the winds at the airport were around 20–30 mph, with agitations close to 40 mph. A helicopter pilot, who saw the accident, said that the plane was “reverse and burning” according to the audio.
US Transport Secretary Sean Dafi said in a social media post that he was aware of the incident.
“FAA investigators are the route for Toronto,” Dafi wrote. “I have been in touch with my counterpart in Canada to offer assistance and help in investigation.”
Monday’s accident occurs amidst a turbulent season for air travel. In late January, 67 people died when Washington, DC died when a military black Hawk helicopter collided with a commercial flight associated with an American airlines from Kansas.
Recent aircraft accidents are not limited to North America. In South Korea, 179 people were killed in an accident related to Jeju air flight when the aircraft crashed into a concrete barrier of an airport and burst into flames. On Christmas, an Azerbaijan Airlines plane also crashed in Kazakhstan, killing 38 people and injured 29.
