UPDATE: 2:26 p.m.
Peel Regional Paramedic Services say at least 19 people have been injured after a Delta Air Lines plane from Minneapolis crashed and flipped over on the tarmac at Toronto's Pearson Airport.
Ornge air ambulance says it was transporting one pediatric patient to Toronto's SickKids hospital and two adults with critical injuries to other hospitals in the city.
The crash occurred shortly after 2 p.m. and emergency responders say all of the plane's 80 passengers and crew have been accounted for.
Images and videos posted on social media show the plane, a Mitsubishi CRJ-900LR, flipped over on the tarmac and passengers fleeing the jet as emergency crews respond to the scene.
Audio recording from the Pearson airport tower shows Delta Air Lines flight 4819 was cleared to land at about 2:10 p.m. ET, and the tower warned the pilots of a possible air flow "bump" in the glide path from an aircraft in front of it.
There were no further conversations with the Delta flight until the tower confirmed at 2:12 p.m. that a plane has crashed, with air controllers quickly redirecting traffic to accommodate the crash scene.
