A plane crashed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, officials said, with CBC television reporting the plane flipped on landing.

CBC and CP24 television both reported eight people were injured.

Toronto's Pearson Airport said it was aware of an incident involving a Delta Air Lines regional flight arriving from Minneapolis and that emergency teams were responding.

All passengers and crew were accounted for, the airport said in a statement on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. Emergency teams are responding, the post added.

Other social media posts appeared to show the jet upside down on the tarmac in Toronto, Ontario.

Representatives for Delta did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"There is a plane crash. However, we don't know the circumstances surrounding it at this point," said Constable Sarah Patten of the Peel Regional Police in Ontario.

"It is my understanding that most of the passengers are out and unharmed but we're still trying to make sure so we're still on scene investigating," Patten said.

Airport staff told local media, CTV News, that the airport shut down arrivals and departures for the time being. Reuters was unable to confirm this with Pearson Airport officials, but the airports website shows multiple delays impacting arrivals and departures.

Peel police say paramedics on the scene have set up a staging area off the runway.
