A DELTA plane has crashed at a Toronto airport as dramatic images show the jet on its roof after it flipped on the tarmac.
Passengers could be seen crawling out of the plane, which was traveling from Minneapolis to Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada, when it slammed into the runway.
Fifteen people were treated for injuries after the terrifying crash, Peel Regional Paramedic Services told The U.S. Sun.
Horrifying videos shared on social media show the plane completely upside down on the snowy runway.
Smoke surrounded the jet in the aftermath of the terrifying scene.
"Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis," the airport shared on X just before 3 pm.
"Emergency teams are responding. All passengers and crew are accounted for."
Paramedics said of the 15 people treated for injuries, two were airlifted to trauma centers for "critical but non-life threatening injuries," officials said.
One child was also taken to a pediatric hospital for treatment after the crash.
A passenger named John Nelson shared a video from the scary scene on Facebook on Monday.
"We just landed," he said in a video showing the Delta aircraft upside down.
"Our plane crashed, it's upside down. The fire department is on site.
"Most people appear to be okay. We're all getting off, [there's] some smoke going on."
The fire department is shown spraying fire retardant on the plane.
"Delta is aware of reports of Endeavor Flight 4819 operating from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Toronto-Pearson International Airport as involved in an incident," Delta said in a statement.
"We are working to confirm any details and will share the most current information on news.delta.com as soon as it becomes available."
According to FlightAware, all arrivals and departures in and out of Toronto Pearson have reportedly been paused.
Hours before the crash, the Toronto airport posted a picture on X of the cleared runway after this weekend's snowy weather.
"Here's a look at part of our airfield this morning as the clean-up continues from this weekend's storm," the airport shared.
"Our crews worked all weekend to keep the roughly 5 million square meters of airfield clear of snow to keep planes arriving and departing safely."
This is the latest in a series of plane disasters in the past few weeks, including a midair collision between a passenger plane and a military helicopter that killed 67 people on January 29.
Officials revealed last week that bad radio transmission might have caused the devastating crash, which sent the two aircraft plunging into the Potomac River in Washington DC.
Crews spent days combing through the icy waters in a tragic recovery mission as they pulled bodies from the river and identified the victims.
